Abstract
We report four patients with functionally significant inadvertent cyclodialysis cleft. In three, the cleft followed uneventful extracapsular cataract extraction with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation; in the fourth, blunt trauma with hyphema. Ocular hypotony resolved in three patients with medical therapy; the fourth required argon laser photocoagulation. Causes, clinical findings, and treatment of inadvertent cyclodialysis cleft are reviewed.
