Tenon capsule–vitreous cavity fistula after hydrogel scleral buckle removal

Conclusion: This is the first report, to the best of our knowledge, of Tenon capsule–vitreous cavity fistula formation after scleral buckle explantation. Because of innate ability to expand, as well as tendency to become friable, hydrogel buckles have a higher risk of requiring removal and of complications from explantation, respectively. Our patient experienced relief of symptoms, without complication from the fistula, and was successfully managed conservatively.
