title: [Scleral erosion after surgery of retinal detachment disclosed by isolated corticodependent hyalitis. Apropos of 3 cases].
abstract: A chronic steroid-dependent hyalitis was the first sign of a transscleral erosion in three patients with severe myopia. This erosion was seen for more than 5 years after the procedure which consisted of a very tight scleral buckling with a 5 mm wide Lincoff sponge. Hyalitis disappeared in all three cases after removal of the material. In one case, the transscleral erosion was the cause of a recurrent retinal detachment. The sensitivity of hyalitis to oral steroid therapy suggests an immune process. Hyalitis in patients with a tight buckle must be cured by removal of the material.
