Pars Plana Vitrectomy with Internal Limiting Membrane Peeling in Traumatic Macular Hole: 14% Perfliioropropane versus Silicone Oil Tamponade

Purpose. To evaluate the outcome of 23 G PPV and ILM peeling with 14% [C.sub.3][F.sub.8] compared with silicone oil tamponade in cases of TMHs without spontaneous closure. Methods. A retrospective comparative study included 33 eyes with TMHs; 7 eyes healed spontaneously, and the remaining 26 eyes ha...

Summary:Purpose. To evaluate the outcome of 23 G PPV and ILM peeling with 14% [C.sub.3][F.sub.8] compared with silicone oil tamponade in cases of TMHs without spontaneous closure. Methods. A retrospective comparative study included 33 eyes with TMHs; 7 eyes healed spontaneously, and the remaining 26 eyes have been treated with PPV and ILM peeling. Silicone oil was used as a tamponade for children or adults who refused to adopt face-down position (10 cases). In all other cases (16 cases), 14% [C.sub.3][F.sub.8] was used. These cases were followed up for 6 months postoperatively. Results. 26 cases (22 males and 4 females) were reviewed, including 10 cases treated with silicone oil and 16 cases treated with 14% [C.sub.3][F.sub.8]. Patients' age ranged from 9 to 54 years. The success rate was 90% in the silicone-filled (9/10) and 94% in the gas-filled (15/16) eyes. At 6 months, the mean BCVA was 0.3 [+ or -] 0.25 in the silicone group and 0.2 [+ or -]0.13 in the gas group (p
