Anterior Migration of the Encircling Band: A Report of Two Cases
Journal Title: Ophthalmology Research: An International Journal - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Aim: To reiterate the clinical course and management of the cases with anteriorly migrated encircling band. Report of the Cases: We describe two patients with the migration of a solid silicone encircling band through the insertions of rectus muscles after the successful retinal detachment surgery (cheesewiring phenomenon). While the first patient had also refractory secondary glaucoma and underwent transscleral diode laser photocoagulation several times, the second patient had high myopia with the axial length of 30.06 mm. In both cases, encircling band was cut without further complication. Conclusion: Cheesewiring phenomenon can be rarely seen after buckling procedures and retina specialists should be aware of this rare complication and its possible causes to prevent its happening.
