title: Successful treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment secondary to globe perforation during peribulbar injection in a case of sympathetic ophthalmia.
abstract: Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment followed peribulbar injection in a patient with preexisting sympathetic ophthalmia. Inadvertent globe perforation resulted in subsequent rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Scleral buckling and pars plana vitrectomy reattached the retina. The histopathology of the subretinal fibrotic tissue confirmed the diagnosis.
