Abstract

© 2015 Gazi Eye Foundation. All Rights Reserved.Rupture of the sclera is a rare but serious complication of retinal detachment surgery. Pre-existing scleral pathology is a major risk factor for globe rupture during scleral buckling procedures. In this case report, we performed a wide silicone tire to cover the scleral thinning area which unexpectedly encountered intraoperatively, so the retinal detachment surgery completed successfully without any complication.
