“…Regarding treatment for ciliary body detachment, there were reports of (1) cycloplegic drops, (2) steroid medication, (3) laser treatment, (4) encircling scleral buckling, (5) intra-vitreous gas injection, (6) trans-scleral cryopexy and (7) silicon oil tamponade. 3,[14][15][16][17] In our case, hypotony did not respond to medical therapy with steroid medications. Kokame et al reported that when ciliary body detachment did not respond to medical therapy with cycloplegic drops and steroid medications, then an intra-vitreous gas injection could rapidly resolve these complications.…”

Purpose We treated two patients with ciliary detachment due to an ab interno trabeculotomy. The ciliary detachment was improved by the use of sulfur hexafluoride (SF 6 ) gas or octafluoro propane (C 3 F 8 ) tamponade. Patients and Methods Patient 1 was a 52-year-old Brazilian man with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). His preoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) was 29 mmHg. Patient 2 was a 57-year-old Japanese woman with POAG. Her preoperative IOP was 35 mmHg. Both patients underwent an ab interno trabeculotomy with a microhook. They caused ciliary detachment as a postoperative complication. We could observe their ciliary detachment with anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT). Hypotony persisted for 2 months and the patients’ ciliary detachment had not improved. They each underwent a pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with simultaneous 20% SF 6 filling. Results In Patient 1, the use of the SF 6 gas tamponade successfully attached the ciliary body. His IOP was increased to 30 mmHg after this resolution of the ciliary detachment. He underwent additional tube shunt surgery. For Patient 2, the SF 6 gas tamponade improved the ciliary detachment but the ciliary body could not be attached. We injected 0.6 cc of 100% C 3 F 8 gas into the vitreous cavity, and this gas tamponade was able to attach the ciliary body. Conclusion AS-OCT is very useful to evaluate ciliary detachment. PPV+Gas tamponade can be a treatment option for ciliary detachment.
