Abstract

Postoperative complications of scleral buckling surgery are various. The anterior migration through the rectus muscles and positioning in the corneoscleral junction is an atypical and undocumented complication. The authors describe a patient with a migration and straddling of the encircling buckle in the corneoscleral junction 2 years after a classic retinal surgery with an encircling solid silicone buckle. Many predisposing factors can lead to this situation.
