Cases of a recurrent RRD at 10 and 11 years after a successful initial reattachment by PPV. a Fundus photograph of the left eye of a 42-year-old Japanese woman (Case 1). A retinal detachment that extended to the 4 quadrants including macula can be seen. Her visual acuity was 20/250. b Fundus drawing of the left eye showing an epiretinal membrane and reopened breaks at the superior temporal retina (arrow). There were also multiple breaks at the nasal retina (arrowhead). c Fundus photograph at 6 months after surgery. The retina is reattached, and the protrusion of the encircling scleral buckle is evident. Her visual acuity was 20/200. d OCT image showing the attached fovea with foveal depression. A dome-shaped macular can also be seen. e Fundus photograph of the left eye of a 70-year-old Japanese man (Case 2). A retinal detachment that extends to the inferior 2 quadrants including the macula can be seen. His visual acuity was 20/150. f Fundus drawing of the left eye showing an inferior retinal detachment. There is a suspicious retinal break at 6 o'clock of the retina (arrow). The scar lesions surrounding a previous break are not detached (arrowhead). g Fundus photograph at 4 months after surgery. The retina is successfully reattached with a mild protrusion of the encircling buckle. A newly treated retinal break and lattice degeneration by photocoagulation can be seen on the buckle (arrow). His visual acuity was 20/30. h An OCT image showing the attached fovea. The foveal depression is very shallow suggesting the existence of a thin epiretinal membrane. RRD, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment; PPV, pars plana vitrectomy; OCT, optical coherence tomography.

When he presented with the rRRD with a duration of 7 days, the inferior half of the retina and macula were detached (Fig. 1e, f). The RRD was reattached by scleral buckling and PPV, and the visual acuity improved to 20/30 with an IOP of 11 mm Hg at 6 months postoperatively (Fig. 1g, h).

Cases of a recurrent RRD at 12 and 17 years after the last PPV. a Fundus photograph of the left eye of a 46-year-old Japanese man (Case 3). A retinal detachment extending to the 3 quadrants including the macula can be seen. His visual acuity was 20/400. b Fundus drawing of the left eye showing a new break at 6 o'clock near the retinal scar (arrow). The other scar lesions surrounding the large breaks are not detached. c Fundus photograph at 3 months after surgery. The retina is successfully reattached, and the new break on the protrusion of the encircling buckle (arrow) is sealed. His visual acuity was 20/25. d An OCT image showing the attached fovea with foveal depression. The outer retinal structures are well restored. e Fundus photograph of the left eye of a 75-year-old Japanese man (Case 4). A retinal detachment that extends to the 3 quadrants including the macula can be seen. His visual acuity was 20/100. f Fundus drawing chart of the left eye showing a reopening of the anterior part of the break at 12 o'clock (arrow). The scar lesions surrounding a giant tear are not detached. g Fundus photograph at 3 months after surgery. The retina is successfully reattached with a mild protrusion of the encircling buckle. The opacity of the lens capsule disturbs the fundus image. His visual acuity was 20/30. h An OCT image showing the attached fovea. The foveal depression is very shallow although the epiretinal membrane had been removed during the surgery. The outer retinal structures are slightly disorganized. RRD, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment; PPV, pars plana vitrectomy; OCT, optical coherence tomography.

When the rRRD developed with a duration of 11 days, his visual acuity was 20/100, and the retinal detachment involved 3 quadrants including the macula (Fig. 2e, f). The retina was successfully reattached, and his visual acuity improved to 20/30 (Fig. 2g). Optical coherence tomography showed that the epiretinal membrane was removed (Fig. 2h).
