Abstract
To report a patient with intrusion of the encircling buckle late postoperatively after surgical treatment of a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Interventional case report. We performed an encircling buckle procedure on a 77-year- old woman with a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Four years after the operation, the encircling buckle intruded into the vitreous cavity. After 3 months of diagnosis of the intrusion, the retina was detached totally. Intrusion of the encircling buckle without any additional segmental buckling element is a very rare late complication of retinal detachment surgery.
