Summary: | Purpose: To describe a case of acute zonal occult outer retinopathy-like (AZOOR-like) presentation following scleral buckle surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Observations: A 48-year-old man underwent successful scleral buckle with cryotherapy for repair of a left eye inferior macula-on rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Five years later he presented with a six-month history of left peripheral field restriction. Fundus autofluorescence and optical coherence tomography demonstrated degeneration of the photoreceptors in a ring pattern around the left macula. Humphrey visual fields showed functional loss corelating with the imaging, with a paracentral ring scotoma. Electrophysiology demonstrated a delayed 30 Hz flicker latency in the left eye confirming cone system dysfunction. Conclusion and Importance: Scleral buckling surgery for repair of a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment may be associated with a late AZOOR-like presentation. |
