Abstract
- Cyclodialysis is characterized by a disruption of the circumferential attachment of the fibers of the meridional ciliary muscle to the scleral spur. Cyclodialysis can lead to a marked chronic hypotony. Prolonged periods of hypotony can result in corneal edema, Descemet`s folds, shallow anterior chamber, cataract formation, chorioretinal folds that can involve the macula, and optic disc edema. The authors experienced a case of traumatic cyclodialysis with a persistent hypotony. We have treated with refixation of the detached ciliary body, by direct cyclopexy. Postoperatively, hypotony was disappeared and visual improvement was achieved.
