Large post-traumatic ciliary staphyloma--a simple, safe and successful management.
Surgical management of scleral staphylomas is challenging and is usually associated with poor visual outcome. A middle aged lady developed a large post-traumatic scleral staphyloma following injury with a cow's horn. She sought treatment for poor vision and cosmetic blemish. She was satisfactorily managed by surface diathermy and closure of defect with partial thickness rotational scleral autografts and her corrected visual improvement was 6/12.
