The techniques used and the outcome in eyes treated for retinal detachment associated with choroidal coloboma are described. We reviewed the medical reports on five eyes of five patients with retinal detachment associated with choroidal coloboma who underwent vitrectomy. Retinal breaks were identified at the margin of or within the coloboma and the retina was successfully reattached by vitrectomy and cyanoacrylate retinopexy in four of the five eyes. The remaining one eye, with no visible retinal break both before and during surgery, also underwent cyanoacrylate retinopexy at regions suspected of retinal break, and was successfully reattached. In four eyes (80%) the vision showed improvement and had a visual acuity of 20/100 or better after surgery. None of the eyes required silicone oil tamponade or endophotocoagulation around the disc or at the papillomacular bundle. For the management of retinal detachment associated with choroidal coloboma, cyanoacrylate retinopexy is the method of choice, providing adequate chorioretinal adhesion and satisfactory visual outcome.
