Purpose: We report our results in four cases of hypotony maculopathy caused by traumatic cyclodialysis and treated by combined vitrectomy and cataract surgery.
Methods: The patients' visual acuities ranged from light perception to 0.2, and intraocular pressures ranged from 4.7 to 5.7 mmHg (mean 5.1 mmHg) before surgery. Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) revealed cyclodialysis associated with ciliary body detachment of 180 degrees to 360 degrees . We performed combined vitrectomy and cataract surgery, with pars plana cryopexy for detached ciliary body and an SF(6) gas tamponade.
Results: Postoperative UBM showed that cyclodialysis and/or ciliary body detachment disappeared in the whole circumference of two eyes, while it partially remained at 15 degrees in one eye and at 30 degrees in one eye. Postoperative visual acuity ranged from 0.06 to 1.2, with IOP ranging from 9.0 to 14.7 mmHg (mean 12.2 mmHg).
Conclusions: Based on our results, we consider that the present combined therapy is highly reliable for closing and adhering traumatic cyclodialysis and normalizing hypotony.

Purpose: To describe an alternative technique used in massive post-traumatic cyclodialysis. Classic techniques such as direct cyclopexy are performed ab externo and entail a higher risk of endophthalmitis or ciliary body hemorrhage. Therefore we present a case report using combined sewing machine technique cyclopexy with transscleral diode cyclophotocoagulation for complete post-traumatic cyclodialysis.

Background: The traditional suturing method for cyclodialysis cleft usually requires an incision in the sclera for direct suturing, resulting in greater damage and a high risk of postoperative complications. The purpose of this work is to propose a newly intrascleral double continuous suture repair technique for the treatment of cyclodialysis clefts.
Methods: Seven patients with cyclodialysis cleft underwent microinvasive intrascleral double continuous suture repair surgery to restore the attachment of the detached ciliary body to the sclera without scleral incision.
Minimally Invasive Direct Internal Cyclopexy in the Management of Goniotomy-Related Cyclodialysis Cleft with Hypotony Maculopathy.

Introduction: Although ab-interno trabeculotomy-related (goniotomy-related) surgeries has a favorable safety profile, cyclodialysis cleft refractory to conservative management could occur, thereby requiring additional surgical treatment. External and, more recently, internal cycloplexy have been attempted to treat cyclodialysis clefts with hypotony maculopathy, however the traditional methods require conjunctival or scleral incisions and have been inappropriate for glaucoma patients who need to undergo future trabeculectomy. Therefore, we report two cases who underwent a novel reliable technique for suture fixation of the detached ciliary body onto the original scleral bed directly through the intraocular approach without conjunctival or scleral incision, minimally invasive direct internal cyclopexy, in the management of goniotomy-related cyclodialysis cleft with hypotony maculopathy.

A female in her 20s presented with a diminution of vision in the right eye (RE) following an open globe injury (scleral penetration) and repair a year back. At the presentation, she had low intraocular pressure (IOP) of 7 mm Hg, posterior subcapsular cataract (PSC), retrolental vitreous bands incarcerated at the penetration site, disc oedema, tortuous vessels and choroidal folds. Inferotemporal and superonasal cyclodialysis clefts were detected on CASIA 2 optical coherence tomography (OCT).

We present the case of a 68-year-old female who presented with a substantial cyclodialysis after phacoemulsification identified by anterior segment optical coherence tomography and ultrasound biomicroscopy. Gonioscopy is challenging because of its shallow anterior chamber. Due to lack of response to topical steroids and refusal by the patient for surgical treatment, topical steroids were tapered, and cycloplegic was initiated.
