Use of anterior segment imaging and direct cyclopexy repair of cyclodialysis cleft

We aim to describe different imaging modalities to localize cyclodialysis clefts and direct cyclopexy repair of cyclodialysis clefts. We reviewed the record of a patient with traumatic cyclodialysis cleft who underwent direct cyclopexy retrospectively. Preoperative and postoperative visual acuity and intraocular pressure (IOP) were recorded. Gonioscopy, ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) and 360° swept-source anterior segment optical coherence tomography (SS-ASOCT) were used to localize the cyclodialysis cleft. We concluded that UBM is the current gold standard imaging modality in localization of cyclodialysis clefts, and that SS-ASOCT is potentially useful as alternative imaging modality. Direct cyclopexy is an effective treatment for large cyclodialysis cleft with good IOP control and visual outcomes.
