Fig. 13.25 Macular ERM can appear in sickle-cell retinopathy usually with an attached vitreous gel presumably because of changes in vitreal structure secondary to the peripheral retinopathy
Fig. 13.27 Tractional retinal detachments can occur with sickle cell. Any membrane that can be should be dissected and removed, but often membrane is adherent to sea fans and must be left behind
Fig. 13.26 The sickle-cell retinopathy may cause ERM
13.3.8 Surgery
Patients with vitreous haemorrhage, TRD, RRD and macular disorders such as ERM and macular holes can be treated with pars plana vitrectomy (Williamson et al. 2009b). Perioperative complications are frequent, in particular, a high incidence of iatrogenic tears formation during PPV especially around sea fan complexes. Sea fans can be safely left in situ and a segmentation technique used if necessary to remove vitreal attachments. There is no need to try to induce regression of the sea fans with scatter laser or feeder vessel
laser. Cataract formation after surgery is uncommon perhaps relating to the young age of many of the patients or to the relative ischaemia of these eyes which may protect against cataractogenesis as has been suggested in diabetic retinopathy.
There is less use of scleral buckling or scatter photocoagulation (which has been used both preoperatively and perioperatively). Both interventions are associated with the development of anterior segment ischaemia in these patients (Cohen et al. 1986), a complication rarely seen today (Osterloh and Charles 1988).
Not all patients with vitreoretinal complications from sickle-cell retinopathy require surgery. Vitreous haemorrhage can be allowed to clear without detriment and TRD observed without apparent progression in some patients. Indeed, patients may show spontaneous improvement.
Exchange transfusion once used before surgery is no longer considered necessary and has been abandoned.
Note: Avoid carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (e.g. acetazolamide) in case of the induction of acidosis.
Some suggest avoiding topical epinephrine and related drugs in case of exacerbating local ischaemia.
Avoid scleral buckling in case of anterior segment ischaemia.
13.3.9 Visual Outcome
In general, the risk to vision is low, and most complications are responsive to surgery. After the age of 40 years, the condition usually stabilises. In one study, outcomes for
