Scleral buckle hemorrhagic cyst masquerading as an orbital tumor
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a case of a 41-year-old man who was referred for evaluation of a choroidal tumor with a remote history of scleral buckle placement for traumatic retinal detachment. Ocular imaging, echography, and magnetic resonance imaging could not rule out a neoplastic process so the patient was taken for surgical exploration where a hemorrhagic cyst was discovered. This is the first case in the literature of a silicone scleral buckle-associated hemorrhagic cyst presenting as orbital mass.

Hemorrhagic retinal macrocysts, simulating choroidal melanoma: a case report
INTRODUCTION Hemorrhagic retinal macrocysts are extremely rare retinal lesions that can be mistaken for malignancy with subsequent enucleation. Such a case was diagnosed, by a retina specialist based on ultrasonography, as a choroidal melanoma with exudative retinal detachment and the patient was advised to have brachytherapy. CASE PRESENTATION A 15-year-old Caucasian boy suffered sudden visu...
متن کاملOrbital cellulitis following silicone-sponge scleral buckles
BACKGROUND Acute or chronic infection of the scleral explant is rare. We report seven cases of scleral explant infections that caused orbital cellulitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a retrospective chart review of oculoplastics at oculoplastics and vitreo-retinal units in a secondary referral hospital. All subjects had orbital cellulitis secondary to scleral buckle in the range of January ...

A 32-year-old female who underwent scleral buckle removal presented 5 weeks postoperatively with a red, fluctuant subconjunctival mass. CT scan identified an irregularly bordered, hypoattenuated lesion next to the globe with the density of air. Ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgeons were consulted to evaluate orbital cellulitis with intraorbital gas, at which point it was deemed that th...
متن کامل[A scleral buckle intrusion 19 years after its use in retinal detachment surgery].
CASE REPORT Intrusion is defined as erosion and protrusion of the scleral implant into the vitreous cavity. This condition may occur as a retinal detachment, vitreous hemorrhage, endophthalmitis or be without symptoms. We performed a vitrectomy alone in a patient with relapsing vitreous hemorrhage secondary to the intrusion of a scleral buckle implanted 19 years previously and left intact the i...
متن کاملImaging of hydrogel episcleral buckle fragmentation as a late complication after retinal reattachment surgery.
Hydrogel encircling bands were introduced in the early 1980s as a product that was superior to bands composed of silicone rubber or silicone sponge for the surgical treatment of retinal detachment. Late complications consisting of orbital swelling and diplopia requiring band removal began to be reported in the early 1990s. Pathologic studies of these expanded fragments of hydrogel material afte...
