30.3 Vitrectomy for Cyclodialysis Cleft

A cyclodialysis cleft occurs when there is disinsertion of the meridonal ciliary muscle fibers from the scleral spur. This is usually secondary to trauma. Many techniques for repair have been described, including use of cryopexy, diathermy, diode and argon laser coagulation, sutures, scleral buckling and vitrectomy with gas endotamponade.[1]
