| Abstract |
We report here a case in which ciliary detachment related to the preparation of a scleral wound was suspected as the cause of persistent hypotony following 23-gauge vitrectomy for proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) was performed following injection of a viscoelastic substance into the anterior chamber to carefully investigate the treatment and cause of persistent hypotony. Deepening the anterior chamber by means of the viscoelastic substance enabled UBM identification of ciliary detachment that had not been detected in the shallow anterior chamber. The extent of ciliary detachment was approximately 8 degrees; however, the detachment could not be seen on gonioscopy. UBM showed no continuity between the anterior chamber and choroid, with findings suggesting that the two structures had been split by posterior traction. The ciliary detachment site was the same site at which a three-port system had been prepared. One advantage of a 23-gauge system is that few complications are associated with the insertion and retraction of instruments. However, the difference in level between the cannula and trocar may result in ciliary detachment even if no resistance is felt when the trocar is inserted. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 20 February 2012.
All research outputs
#18,304,874
of 22,663,150 outputs
Outputs from International Ophthalmology
#529
of 1,029 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#199,573
of 250,850 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Ophthalmology
#6
of 10 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,663,150 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,029 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.2. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 250,850 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 9th percentile – i.e., 9% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 10 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 4 of them.
