In this patient the action of the lateral rectus was preserved, and this is demonstrated photographically. The possible reasons for this rare complication and the possible mechanism by which lateral rectus activity remained intact are explained.

متن کاملRetinal detachment surgery. Encircling silastic 3-mm. band without evacuation of subretinal fluid.
In retinal detachment surgery, Chawla (I97I) had excellent results using a 7-mm. encircling silastic band, cauterization of the edges of the tear by cryocautery, and evacuation of the subretinal fluid (Schepens, Okamura, and Brockhurst, I957). He felt that the technique was simpler than scleral dissection and safer than the supramid encircling suture. The present study has the following aims: (...
