Rev Med Liege 2025, 80(7-8),473-477Abstract : The cyclodialysis cleft is a rare complication (2 %) in the spectrum of blunt trauma presenting ocular hypotony. This is a separation between the ciliary body and the sclera. This results in the formation of a new space between the anterior chamber and a suprachoroidal space, often inducing major ocular hypotony. Treatment requires medical treatment or even surgical treatment for severe cases. A certain degree of recession of the iridocorneal angle could persist after closure of the cleft of cyclodialysis, causing at short- or at long-term ocular hypertonia.
