TI  - SUBFOVEAL CHOROIDAL THICKNESS CHANGE AFTER PARS PLANA VITRECTOMY IN RECENT ONSET 
      RHEGMATOGENOUS RETINAL DETACHMENT.
PG  - 2371-2376
AB  - PURPOSE: To evaluate changes in subfoveal choroidal thickness (SCT) after recent 
      onset rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and primary pars plana vitrectomy 
      (PPV) using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). METHODS: This 
      retrospective study included 22 eyes of 22 patients who had primary PPV for the 
      management of recent onset RRD. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular 
      pressure (IOP), central foveal thickness (CFT), and subfoveal choroidal thickness 
      (SCT) were measured before and 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after the surgery. 
      The changes in measurements were compared between operated and fellow eyes. 
      RESULTS: The preoperative mean SCT of eyes with RRD was 350.2 +/- 47.8 mum and of 
      fellow eyes was 258.9 +/- 46.7 mum, respectively. The postoperative mean SCT of 
      operated eyes at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months were 265.1 +/- 45.1, 260.9 +/- 46.6 
      and 261.1 +/- 46.7 mum and of fellow eyes 256.9 +/- 45.8, 257 +/- 46.1 and 256.8 +/- 46.6 
      mum, respectively. A statistically significant decrease in SCT (P < 0.001), an 
      increase in IOP (P < 0.001), and an improvement in BCVA (P < 0.001) were observed 
      in eyes with RRD 3 months after the surgery (Friedman test). CONCLUSION: The mean 
      preoperative SCT of eyes with RRD was found to be greater than that of fellow 
      eyes without any ocular surgery or disease. The increased mean SCT showed a 
      tendency to decrease after PPV. This may be related to increased uveoscleral 
      outflow and intraocular inflammation after RRD, and it may be concluded that 
      vitrectomy does not affect choroidal thickness.
