A silicone sponge sutured directly across the macular region was performed on the silicone oil filled eyes. Silicone oil was removed no sooner than 1 month post- EMB. The duration of follow -up time after removal of silicone oil was more than 3 months.RESULTS: Retinas of five eyes were all reattached at the last follow-up. The postoperative vision ranged from counting fingers to 0.08.CONCLUSION: Anatomical results improved after EBM for posterior retinal detachment in silicone oil filled eyes associated with myopic macular hole, which was not evident for visual outcome.展开更多

I write to present a case report of retinal detachment with Gaucher disease（GD）.GD is a chronic, progressive, autosomal recessive lipidstorage disease caused by mutations in the lysosomal enzyme β-glucosidase（glucocerebrosidase）.展开更多
