Abstract

Purpose

To report changes in subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography following pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with silicone oil (SiO) endotamponade injection and subsequent removal.

Methods

In this prospective study, 24 eyes of 24 patients with macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RD) were included. These patients underwent PPV with SiO injection removal. SFCT measurements were taken 2 weeks and 3 months after PPV and SiO injection and 1 month after SiO removal. The contralateral eyes served as controls.

Results

Mean SFCT values of the operated eyes were 294.1 ± 70.5 µm and 282.9 ± 80.6 µm 2 weeks and 3 months after PPV and 264.2 ± 63.3 µm 1 month after SiO removal. There was no significant change in SFCT between first and second measurements (p = 0.96). SFCT decrease was statistically significant when first and last measurements were compared (p = 0.03). SFCT percent change was correlated with duration of SiO in the eye and was not correlated with amount of endolaser photocoagulation performed during surgery. SFCT values of the fellow eyes were 317.1 ± 84.8 µm, 313.7 ± 79.8 µm and 306.1 ± 69.1 µm, at 2 weeks and 3 months after PPV and 1 month after SiO removal, respectively. There was no significant difference between the measurements of the control eyes taken at different time intervals (p = 0.430, p = 0.085, respectively).

Conclusion

SFCT seems to decrease after the removal of the SiO which indicates that choroidal parameters should be taken into account during or after surgery for rhegmatogenous RD.
