RAWNY Image Feature of the Month: Retinal Detachment Repair via Scleral Buckle and Myopic Choroidal Neovascularization (mCNV). This patient has been diagnosed with mCNV which can happen in people with severe nearsightedness (myopia). Because of the stress on the stretched, thinned tissues that happen with an elongated eyeball, abnormal blood vessels can start to develop in the back of the eye, causing macular swelling and bleeding. Additionally, the patient experienced a retinal detachment with multiple breaks, and underwent scleral buckle surgery with cryotherapy to repair it. While less common than vitrectomy surgery, scleral buckling is still preferred in some cases of uncomplicated retinal detachments in younger patients. Scleral buckling is a surgical technique in which the surgeon fits and secures a band of silicone or sponge on the outside of the eye (the sclera, or the white of the eye). This band creates an indentation, or a “buckle” that pushes the eyewall against the detached retina, allowing it to go back into proper position and reattach. In these photos, the scleral buckle band is quite obvious, seen around the edge of the photos as a broad, raised circular band that displaces the retina inward. Ultra-widefield imaging is a powerful tool not only for assessing disease progression, but also for preoperative planning and postoperative monitoring of a scleral buckle and other surgical cases.
