title: Transmuscular migration and straddling of the cornea by an encircling buckle.
abstract: Postoperative complications of scleral buckling surgery are various. The anterior migration through the rectus muscles and positioning in the corneoscleral junction is an atypical and undocumented complication. The authors describe a patient with a migration and straddling of the encircling buckle in the corneoscleral junction 2 years after a classic retinal surgery with an encircling solid silicone buckle. Many predisposing factors can lead to this situation.
