Posterior Chamber Hemorrhage During Strabismus Surgery

Globe perforation during strabismus surgery in an animal model: Treatment versus observation

“…2 Vitreous hemorrhage is usually mild and localized 3,4 but may occasionally be diffuse and severe. 16 Cataracts, lens dislocation, and glaucoma have also been reported. [17][18][19] Endophthalmitis, 20-23 panophthalmitis, 24 and phthisis bulbi 13 are rare complications of globe penetration during strabismus surgery.…”

Scleral penetrations and perforations in strabismus surgery and associated risk factors

“…Nevertheless, globe perforation can lead to serious complications such as vitreous hemorrhage, lens dislocation, endophthalmitis, retinal detachment, 10 cataract, hyphema, and glaucoma. [11][12][13] .…”

Scleral perforations in strabismus surgery: incidence and role of prophylactic cryotherapy – a clinical and experimental study

“…11 A more recent study recommended indirect ophthalmoscopy-directed diode laser retinopexy in such cases. 12 The described sequelae of scleral perforations leading to visual loss are very rare and include rhegmatogenous and tractional retinal detachment, 10 endophthalmitis, 13,14 posterior segment haemorrhage, 5,15 cataract, 16 lens dislocation, 17 hyphaema, 3,16 glaucoma, 16 intravitreal fibrous ingrowth, 10 macular pucker 10 and phthisis bulbi. 18 We undertook this study to further evaluate the magnitude and natural course of this complication of strabismus surgery in our setting.…”
