Anterior segment ischemia and ischemic optic neuropathy following encircling scleral buckling surgery and air tamponade
The anterior ischemia resolved with the simple loosening of the oval sponge, avoiding the need for the removal of the entire encircling element and maintaining correct indentation on the break. Unfortunately, the NAION led to irreversible damage, significantly deteriorating the quality of vision for our patient, despite achieving a very high final visual acuity.
