Abstract
<br>We report the management of a case of inadvertent full-thickness scleral penetration during rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) surgery in a 14-year-old high myope while making partial-thickness scleral tunnel for the passage of the 240 silicone band. Sudden and gross hypotony with subretinal hemorrhage were noted post-penetration. Hypotony was immediately addressed by suturing the penetration site with a 7-0 vicryl suture. Subretinal blood was removed by performing 360° relaxing retinotomy and retinectomy and the retina was attached. This case report highlights the possible reasons for the full-thickness scleral penetration and one of the various methods to handle the same.<br>
