title: Optical coherence tomography findings in delayed subretinal fluid absorption after scleral buckling surgery.
abstract: The occurrence of loculated bleb-like delayed subretinal fluid absorption has been reported following scleral buckling surgery and more commonly following pneumatic retinopexy among adults and seldom in children. The authors report the occurrence of delayed subretinal fluid absorption following scleral buckling surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in a 15-year-old girl, indicating the need for routine optical coherence tomography evaluation in the non-amblyogenic age group of children who have good anatomical but poor functional outcome following retinal reattachment surgery.
