Massive hemorrhagic retinal detachment during radial optic neurotomy

Abstract

We conclude that RON for CRVO carries a risk of arterial bleeding and that infusion of liquid perfluoro-carbon seems to be effective to arrest arterial bleeding from the RON site.

Macular hole formation and spontaneous closure after vitrectomy for central retinal vein occlusion

“…While they found the procedure to be safe, others have documented serious intra-operative complications like vitreous haemorrhage, central retinal artery occlusion and perforation, and recently, haemorrhagic retinal detachment [3,7,8]. We report a macular hole that developed after RON in CRVO, and closed spontaneously.…”

Central retinal vein occlusion: a review

“…70 Complications of the procedure include vitreous haemorrhage, haemorrhagic retinal detachments, retinal detachment, visual field defects, central retinal artery occlusion and neovascularization. 64,65,[71][72][73][74][75] Current evidence does not support the use of RON in CRVO, and RCTs will be required to define its role.…”

Changes of electroretinogram without improvement of retinal circulation after radial optic neurotomy for central retinal vein occlusion

“…Further studies are needed to confirm the efficacy and safety of RON, because the exact mechanism(s) that improve visual function after this surgical procedure is still undetermined. In addition, various serious complications such as central retinal artery occlusion [21], visual field defects from optic nerve damage [22], hemorrhagic retinal detachment next to the site of RON [23], and choroidal neovascularization [2] have been reported after RON.…”
