SURGICAL MANAGEMENT OF RETINAL DETACHMENT IN OSTEOGENESIS IMPERFECTA: CASE REPORT AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE.
Retinal Cases & Brief Reports 2019 January
PURPOSE: To describe a case of scleral buckling in a patient with severe (Type III) osteogenesis imperfecta.
METHODS: Single interventional case report of a 37-year-old woman, with clinically diagnosed osteogenesis imperfecta Type III, presenting with an inferior retinal detachment of the right eye. The patient was promptly treated with scleral buckling.
RESULTS: Long-term follow-up has shown a good clinical outcome, with no recurrence of the retinal detachment. Eighteen months postsurgery, an ischemic branch retinal vein obstruction has developed in the right eye, complicated by macular edema. The patient was treated successfully with bevacizumab injections, with restoration of visual acuity to 20/25.
CONCLUSION: Scleral buckle may provide a good surgical option in selected patients with osteogenesis imperfecta, yielding excellent anatomical and functional results.
