Abstract
Clinical case

A 63-year-old man presented with late hypotony maculopathy after non-penetrating deep sclerectomy. Hypotonia and visual acuity are improved after transconjunctival suturing of the scleral flap.

Discussion

Hypotony maculopathy may occur as a late complication after glaucoma surgery. Transconjunctival suturing of the scleral flap can be useful when conservative measures have failed.

Keywords:
Non-penetrating deep sclerectomy

Resumen
Caso clínico

Un hombre de 63 años desarrolla una maculopatía hipotónica tardía tras una esclerectomía profunda no perforante. La sutura transconjuntival del tapete escleral permite resolver la hipotonía y la normalización de la agudeza visual.

Discusión

La maculopatía hipotónica puede presentarse de forma diferida tras una cirugía de glaucoma. Las suturas transconjuntivales del tapete escleral son una alternativa en el tratamiento de la hipotonía cuando las medidas conservadoras han fracasado.
