A new complication of 360 degrees suture trabeculotomy, subretinal suture misdirection, is reported. This rare event occurred during congenital glaucoma surgery, highlighting the need for careful technique during Schlemm

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Complications
  • Glaucoma Surgery

Background:

  • Congenital glaucoma requires surgical intervention to manage intraocular pressure.
  • 360 degrees suture trabeculotomy is a surgical technique used for glaucoma management.

Observation:

  • A case report details a 5-month-old infant with bilateral congenital glaucoma.
  • One eye underwent uncomplicated 360 degrees suture trabeculotomy.
  • The contralateral eye developed a subretinal white tract post-trabeculotomy.

Findings:

  • The subretinal tract was presumed to result from the suture misdirecting posteriorly after exiting Schlemm's canal.
  • This complication occurred despite the trabeculotomy procedure itself being completed.
  • No retinal break or detachment was observed in conjunction with the subretinal tract.

Implications:

  • Subretinal suture misdirection is a potential, albeit rare, complication of 360 degrees suture trabeculotomy.
  • This finding necessitates vigilance for aberrant suture placement during the procedure.
  • Awareness of this complication can aid in prompt diagnosis and management in future cases.
