Combined pars plana vitrectomy and artificial iris diaphragm implant after globe rupture

摘要

Background Retinal detachment (RD) associated with aniridia due to globe rupture (GR) is an uncommon condition with a severe prognosis. Surgical technique must address anterior and posterior segment issues secondary to the altered compartmentalization and increased risk for corneal toxicity. The purpose of this paper is to report a series of GR patients undergoing combined pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and artificial iris diaphragm (AID) implant for the repair of RD associated to aniridia.
