Abstract

A 59-year-old patient developed acute proptosis, peri-orbital swelling and restriction of ocular movements 2 days after attempted scleral buckle removal. Initial clinical and orbital MRI findings were suggestive for orbital cellulitis and orbital abscess. Empiric intravenous antibiotics were not effective. Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) revealed a distinctive composition and helped rule out suppurative and neoplastic processes. The patient recovered soon after removing clear liquefied and tiny particles of the hydrogel buckle by an effective peristaltic technique. © 2015 Informa Healthcare USA, Inc. All rights reserved.
