“…In contrast, the age of our case at the time of vitrectomy was 1 month. Although freshly formed retinal folds can be unfolded to obtain relatively good visual function preserved by vitrectomy in eyes with Norrie disease (Shima et al), 15 we believe that early vitrectomy i.e., before macular dragging occurs, results in better anatomical and functional results, as seen in our case. Vitrectomy may be more successful at restoring macular anatomy if the traction elements are released before the retinal fold becomes dry.…”

Purpose Vitrectomy is usually only indicated for familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) cases with progressive retinal folds or macular dragging. In this report, we present our experience reversing the progression of macular dragging by performing early eye vitrectomies in a 1-month-old male baby with FEVR. Observations A 7-day-old, full-term male baby was examined by a pediatric ophthalmologist. His sister had a laser ablation treatment after being diagnosed with FEVR. The ophthalmologist found the baby had avascular retinas, fibrovascular membranes, and vitreous hemorrhages in both eyes, and performed retinal photocoagulations the next day. Although the retinal folds had not yet formed, the arcade vessels began to linearize after the procedure, strongly suggesting disease progression. Therefore, we performed lens-sparing vitrectomies in both eyes on the twenty-ninth day of life. After surgery, the macular dragging reversed, as evidenced by vascular arcade angle measurements. Three years after the surgery, the boy's visual acuity was 0.4 in both eyes. Conclusions and Importance In this case, we believe the good postoperative outcomes were due to early vitrectomies before the vitreoretinal traction became severe. In addition, the retinal photocoagulation performed on the eighth day of life may have reduced disease activity, at least partially. This case highlights the importance of prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment of FEVR.

“…Reportedly, there may be more chance that selected cases showing XR FEVR related to a single-point mutation of NDP take a less aggressive course than those with severe Norrie disease due to deletions and truncations. 18,20,26 Thus, it is conceivable that patients with XR FEVR due to missense in NDP showed a relatively good response to IVR therapy in this case series. 4 Autosomal dominant FEVR related to FZD4 , LRP5 , TSPAN12 , and KIF11 in the series showed varying severity and responded diversely to IVR treatment among individuals and eyes.…”

Purpose: To report a case of surgical repair of traumatic rhegmatogenous retinal detachment combined with congenital falciform retinal detachment (FRD). Methods: A retrospective case report. Results: A 36-year-old man with traumatic rhegmatogenous retinal detachment complicating a previously known FRD was successfully treated despite residual FRD following pars plana lensectomy, vitrectomy, and encircling scleral buckling. His best corrected visual acuity improved from hand motion at 50 cm to 20/1,000. Conclusion: We concluded that the root of the FRD is susceptible to trauma because of the contraction of fibrovascular tissue. The early intervention of modern vitrectomy to traumatic rhegmatogenous retinal detachment complicating a previously known FRD is an important consideration for enhanced quality of care and optimal patient outcomes.
