Abstract

Case report: We present the case of an 81-year-old man with retinal detachment caused by intrusion of an Arruga suture. The encircling buckle was located in the sub-retinal space and caused retinal breaks with retinal detachment

Discussion: A pars plana vitrectomy was performed along with intraocular cutting of the Arruga suture with retinal re-attachment.
