Uncommon Complication Post-deep Sclerectomy: Giant Retinal Tear.

Glaucoma is a prevalent neurodegenerative disease. It causes progressive visual loss and is one of the most common causes of blindness worldwide. It can be categorized into open-angle or closed-angle glaucoma. Primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) is a subdivision of open-angle glaucoma. Non-penetrating deep sclerectomy (NPDS) is a surgical method for managing open-angle and primary congenital glaucoma, which was first introduced in 1990. During NPDS, a sclera flap is raised but not completely removed, and the outer part of Schlemm's canal and trabecular meshwork, along with the juxtacanalicular tissue, are excised without completely penetrating the eye. Therefore, it is considered a safe and efficient option for controlling intraocular pressure. This report shows a unique case of uncommon complication post-deep sclerectomy, a giant retinal tear, after undergoing non-penetrating deep sclerectomy for primary congenital glaucoma.
