UNASSIGNED: A 71-year-old female with VMT and an FTMH presented with blurred vision for 2 months to the level of 20/400. At her 1-month follow-up visit, PV was performed using C3F8 gas and she was instructed to perform the drinking bird technique for ten minutes.
UNASSIGNED: Optical coherence tomography performed ten minutes after PV with head bobbing showed VMT release and a smaller FTMH. Visual acuity improved to 20/150 immediately afterwards and to 20/80 two months later.
UNASSIGNED: Using the drinking bird technique for a continuous period of time immediately following PV may encourage rapid VMT release. PV may be a feasible option for patients with VMT and FTMH who do not want surgery.
■一名患有VMT和FTMH的71岁女性,视力模糊2个月,达到20/400的水平。在她为期一个月的随访中,使用C3F8气体进行PV,并指示她进行10分钟的饮水鸟技术。
■在头部摆动的PV后十分钟进行光学相干断层扫描,显示VMT释放和较小的FTMH。视敏度立即提高到20/150,两个月后提高到20/80。
■在PV后立即连续使用饮鸟技术可能会鼓励VMT快速释放。对于不希望手术的VMT和FTMH患者,PV可能是可行的选择。
