Scleral buckle intrusion.
A case is reported of a 72-year-old man with an intruded scleral buckle presenting 30 years after retinal detachment repair. The lesion was noted incidentally and occupied the superotemporal retinal periphery. The diagnosis was confirmed by B-scan ultrasonography and external examination of the globe. The patient was treated conservatively. No clinical change was evident after 12 months follow up.
