| Summary: |
Purpose: The aim of the
study is to present a case of posterior staphyloma in
the eyeball of the normal length.
Methods and Results: A 17-year-old boy underwent full
ophthalmologic examination due to impaired vision in the
right eye (R.E.) lasting for one month. The visual
acuity of R.E. and L.E. was found to be 0.8 and 1.0,
respectively; near visual acuity for both eyes – 0.5,
intraocular pressure in both eyes – 16 mmHg. The
anterior part of both eyes was normal. The R.E.
ophthalmoscopy revealed the presence of posterior
staphyloma near the temporal-upper optic disc margin
accompanied by serous retinal detachment above the
macula. The L.E. ophthalmoscopy – normal. The eyeball
length 23 mm and posterior staphyloma depth 2.4 mm.
Refraction test – normal without any vision defect.
Additionally fluorescein angiography, US B and OCT
confirmed the presence of posterior staphyloma of the
right eye. During the 3-month follow up the retinal
detachment markedly decreased.
Conclusions: The case report shown that posterior
staphyloma may develop in the eyeball of normal length
although its incidence is rare. New diagnositic methods,
especially OCT, are very helpful in the clinical picture
evaluation. |
