Scleral buckling procedure with chandelier illumination for pediatric rhegmatogenous retinal detachment

Figures & data

Figure 1 Preoperative right fundus and OCT imaging in Case 1.

Notes: Peripheral retinal detachment with subretinal strands is visible. The macula appears uninvolved, but OCT shows the absence of the inner and outer segment junction line, indicating spontaneous attachment.
Abbreviation: OCT, optical coherence tomography.

Figure 2 Preoperative left fundus and optical coherence tomography imaging in Case 2.

Note: Flat retinal detachment with subretinal strands and macular involvement are visible.

Figure 3 Image of surgical procedure.

Notes: Left: Intraoperative view of the inserted chandelier. Right: Intraoperative fundus image under chandelier illumination and the view of cryoretinopexy.
