Purpose: The purpose of this report is to describe a case of a patient with microspherophakia (MSP) who had a scleral rupture during a retinal detachment (RD) repair with primary scleral buckle and cryoretinopexy. Observations: A 48-year-old woman with MSP presented with six days of expanding loss of vision and photopsias. Examination revealed a superior retinal detachment involving the macula associated with two superior retinal tears. The patient underwent successful placement of a segmental buckle. During cryoretinopexy treatment of the tears, a 4 mm full-thickness scleral rupture occurred. The sclera was immediately closed with interrupted 8-0 nylon sutures and reinforced with a processed pericardium allograft. Subsequent combined phacoemulsification with capsulectomy, zonulectomy, and pars plana vitrectomy with retinal reattachment was performed nine days post buckle placement. Conclusions and importance: This case illustrates that a patient with MSP, even observed in the absence of a genetic syndrome or familial condition, may be at increased risk of scleral rupture during RD repair. Though future investigations are necessary to confirm this association, surgeons should take a conservative approach by having a high clinical suspicion for compromised scleral integrity in patients with MSP and proceeding with caution in procedures that may pose a risk of scleral rupture. A pericardium allograft can be an effective adjunct for scleral rupture repair. |
