Although generally regarded as a stable developmental anomaly, growing evidence suggests that eyes with Straatsma syndrome may harbor clinically relevant abnormalities of the vitreoretinal interface, predisposing them to late-onset retinal detachment. Most reported cases describe macular hole-associated retinal detachment driven by focal, abnormally strong vitreoretinal adhesion overlying myelinated fibers at the macula. Peripheral rhegmatogenous mechanisms, however, remain poorly characterized.</p><p><strong>Case presentation: </strong>We report a 64-year-old man with longstanding unilateral Straatsma syndrome who presented with sudden, severe visual loss. Fundus examination and ultrasonography revealed a macula-involving rhegmatogenous retinal detachment originating from a superonasal peripheral retinal tear, without evidence of macular hole formation. Intraoperatively, pars plana vitrectomy disclosed unusually firm vitreoretinal adhesion at the site of the peripheral break, despite the absence of visible myelinated nerve fibers in that region. The patient underwent combined phacoemulsification, pars plana vitrectomy, scleral buckling, and silicone oil tamponade, achieving complete retinal reattachment. Postoperatively, chronic cystoid macular edema developed and was successfully treated with silicone oil removal and intravitreal dexamethasone implantation. Final best corrected visual acuity improved to 20/60, consistent with the pre-existing amblyopia.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>This case documents a peripheral, tear-related rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in Straatsma syndrome, a mechanism distinct from the macular hole-driven pathway most commonly reported. Although the coexisting high axial myopia constitutes a well-established independent risk factor for peripheral retinal breaks, the intraoperative observation of unusually firm vitreoretinal adhesion at a site devoid of visible myelinated fibers raises the hypothesis that Straatsma syndrome may involve a diffuse abnormality of the vitreoretinal interface extending beyond areas of clinically apparent myelination. As a single observational case, these findings are hypothesis-generating and cannot establish causality; nevertheless, they underscore the importance of meticulous peripheral retinal examination and long-term surveillance in affected patients, particularly in the presence of high axial myopia.</p>","PeriodicalId":9603,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Ophthalmological Medicine","volume":"2026 ","pages":"6341643"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2026-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13084255/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147721668","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is typically benign and rarely progresses to intracranial complications, unlike orbital cellulitis. However, when secondary to rhinosinusitis, the infection may behave unpredictably and extend beyond expected anatomical boundaries. We report a rare case of migratory preseptal cellulitis in a 12-year-old boy, initially presenting with unilateral eyelid swelling, erythema, and fever. Despite prompt initiation of empirical intravenous antibiotics, the condition failed to improve and instead demonstrated an unusual migratory pattern, spreading superiorly to the forehead and crossing the midline to involve the contralateral eye. This atypical progression raised concern for deeper infection and prompted advanced imaging. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed maxillary sinusitis with intracranial extension, resulting in a left frontal subdural empyema. The patient underwent multiple surgical interventions, including incision and drainage of the eyelid, craniotomy for empyema evacuation, and functional endoscopic sinus surgery to address the underlying sinonasal source. Broad-spectrum intravenous antibiotics were continued, as there was no growth after 5 days of incubation. Following combined surgical and medical management, the patient made a full recovery within 20 days, with complete resolution of neurological and ocular symptoms. This favorable outcome underscores the importance of early recognition and aggressive treatment of intracranial complications arising from seemingly localized infections. This case highlights that intracranial extension can occur even in preseptal cellulitis, particularly when symptoms worsen or fail to respond to standard therapy. Migratory eyelid swelling should heighten clinical suspicion for atypical or progressive disease. Prompt imaging, identification of the primary infectious source, and timely multidisciplinary intervention are essential to prevent life-threatening complications.</p>","PeriodicalId":9603,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Ophthalmological Medicine","volume":"2026 ","pages":"5117052"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2026-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13053943/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147638025","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
