[Treatment of a case of retinal detachment in morning glory syndrome].
The association of Morning glory syndrome and retinal detachment has been described several times. The observation of one clinical case has led us to review all the proposed physiopathogenic hypotheses and to deduce an original therapeutic attitude. The possibility of an abnormal communication between the sub retinal and sub arachnoidal spaces has justified the use of acetazolamide to reduce the secretion of spinal fluid and the prevention of its subretinal diffusion by an ocular compression. The reapplication which has been obtained was followed by a wide spread retinopexy on the detached retina. In addition, an intravitreous injection of C3F8 has been used to treat of a retinal hole in the staphylomatous area.
