A case of endophthalmitis following the removal of an encircling band is presented. A possible route of entry in the absence of scleral perforation during the procedure is proposed.

purpose : to evaluate corneal visco-elasticity and intraocular pressure (iop) changes measured by an ocular response analyzer (ora) after scleral buckling methods : fifty-six eyes with history of scleral buckling surgery three months ago were included in the study. corneal hysteresis (ch), corneal resistance factor (crf), corneal-compensated iop (iopcc) and goldmann-correlated iop (iopg) were m...

purpose: to evaluate the anatomical and functional outcomes of surgical management of retinal detachments associated with choroidal colobomas methods: in this retrospective study, 31 eyes of 31 patients with coloboma-related retinal detachments enrolled. all the eyes underwent standard three-port pars plana vitrectomy with internal tamponade with nonheavy silicon oil in 24 (77.4%) or 20% sulfur...

PURPOSE The aim of this study is the presentation of subfoveal choroidal thickness with enhanced depth imaging spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) several months after scleral buckling with encircling band surgery. METHODS 48 patients who underwent scleral buckling with encircling band surgery for unilateral rhegmatogenous retinal detachment were included in the retrospecti...

PURPOSE To compare the results of narrow encircling band surgery with standard encircling scleral buckling for retinal detachments (RDs) with intrabasal or unseen breaks. METHODS In a retrospective study, eyes with intrabasal or unseen breaks underwent narrow band implantation (group N) or standard encircling buckling plus wide tire placement (group W) and were followed for at least one year....

An 11-year-old boy presented with a total retinal detachment in his right eye. He had a bilateral 360° argon laser treatment for an active retinopathy of prematurity performed after his birth. He underwent an uneventful pars plana vitrectomy, encircling band, 810-nm diode endolaser and heavy silicone oil (Densiron(®)) endotamponade. A tonic pupil and abolition of corneal sensitivity, with a lar...
