Scleral dellen, a rare complication, can occur after strabismus surgery. This case report discusses its clinical significance, diagnosis, and management in a hypertensive patient.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Complications
  • Ocular Surface Disease

Background:

  • Strabismus surgery aims to correct eye alignment.
  • Complications, though infrequent, require careful consideration.
  • Scleral dellen are localized areas of stromal thinning and dehydration on the sclera.

Observation:

  • A 55-year-old male with hypertension developed scleral dellen post-strabismus surgery.
  • The condition presented as an unusual complication.
  • Clinical presentation and patient history were documented.

Findings:

  • Scleral dellen represent a potential, albeit uncommon, sequela of strabismus procedures.
  • Differential diagnosis involves distinguishing dellen from other scleral or conjunctival pathologies.

  • Management strategies focus on lubrication and addressing underlying causes.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of recognizing scleral dellen after ocular surgery.
    • Informs differential diagnosis for patients presenting with post-operative ocular surface changes.
    • Emphasizes the need for prompt and appropriate management to prevent visual compromise.
