Abstract
A patient with history of recurrent rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and refractory macular hole presented to the Bascom Palmer emergency room with elevated left eye pressure. Examination showed silicone oil bubbles in the angle, recurrent inferior retinal detachment and a recurrent large full thickness macular hole. Surgical management with pars plana vitrectomy, silicone oil exchange, retinectomy, and amniotic membrane graft placement was performed. Post-operatively, the retina was attached, ocular pressure was normal, macular hole was closed, and vision was stable.
