Pericardial patch graft repair of severe localized scleral thinning encountered during strabismus surgery

Maan Alkharashi et al. J AAPOS. 2017 Apr.

Abstract

This article presents a surgical technique using a pericardial patch for the permanent repair of severe scleral thinning encountered during strabismus surgery. In the present case scleral thinning resulted from buckle removal. Familiarity with this technique may prove important for the strabismus surgeon treating patients with a history of surface ocular hardware or disease-induced scleral thinning.
