Abstrakt: Hypotony is a rare postoperative complication of strabismus surgery. Resolution has been reported to occur within 1 month of surgery. Here, we describe the case of a 14-year-old boy with prolonged hypotony maculopathy following uneventful bilateral medial rectus recession. The hypotony resolved without long-term sequela after 7 months of treatment with topical steroids and atropine. Ultrasound biomicroscopy revealed a ciliary body effusion, which we hypothesize was the cause of decreased aqueous humor production and hypotony.
