Abstract

Introduction : Glaucoma uveitis is caused by increased outflow resistance, which distorts the balance between water production and outflow. Trabeculectomy is better than LPI in controlling IOP in glaucoma uveitis Case Illustration : Male patient aged 45 years, came to the Eye Polyclinic at Serui Hospital with complaints of very painful right eye since 2 weeks ago, the patient also complained of being unable to see at all, red eyes, headache, stiff neck, nausea and vomiting. Ophthalmological examination reveal right eye vision no light perception (NLP), palpebral edema, spasm, conjunctival hyperemia, corneal edema, shallow anterior chamber angle, iris-corneal contact, negative pupillary reflex, total pupillary block, negative fundus reflex, schiotz IOP 81 mmHg. Discussion : The patient diagnosed as right eye acute glaucoma and treated with acetazolamide, timolol maleate eye drops, potassium aspar tablets, prednisolone acetate drops, diclofenac sodium drops in the right eye, paracetamol tablets, re-evaluate in 2 hours. The patient chose to be referred to a hospital in Surabaya. The patient came back with the same complaint and was treated the same as before, right eye surgery trabeculectomy + peripheral iridectomy with releaseable suture flap limbal base with controlled IOP results, releaseable suture sutures were removed in 2 weeks. Trabeculectomy of the uveitic eye is generally less successful because of accelerated wound healing by the postoperative fibrinous and cellular response. Antimetabolites such as 5FU and Mitomycin C are used to enhance the success of trabeculectomy in uveitis eyes (5FU, MMC). 95% success (IOP less than 21 mm Hg with 1 or no treatment) was achieved with MMC augmented trabeculectomy. Conclusion : Increased IOP due to pupillary block causes acute glaucoma with signs of high IOP, middilated pupils, decreased pupillary reflexes, and irregular shape, corneal epithelial edema, episcleral and conjunctival vascular congestion, shallow anterior chamber, small number of flares and cells.

Abstract

Introduction : Trabeculectomy remains a gold standard of glaucoma surgical management despite a steady rate of bleb failure due to conjunctival scarring. In this case, we report a case of a failed trabeculectomy managed with ab-interno bleb needling followed by antimetabolite injection of mitomycin C. Case Illustration : A 18-year-old male patient with a history of blurry vision in his right eye and vision loss in his left eye. The patient had previously undergone cataract surgery due to juvenile cataracts and developed persistent high intraocular pressure (IOP) in both of his eyes. A trabeculectomy was performed on his right eye six months prior to the examination; however, the IOP remained at 22 mmHg. Ocular examination revealed a shallow anterior chamber and flat conjunctival bleb. An ab-interno bleb needling technique was performed followed by antimetabolite injection of mitomycin C under local anesthesia in an operating theatre. Follow-up results showed a significant reduction of IOP on the first day (13.3 mmHg) and a week after surgery (18.5 mmHg), maintained by one anti-glaucoma eye drop. Discussion : Trabeculectomy filtration surgery has a high failure rate in younger patients due to a high risk of conjunctival scarring. The ab-interno needling approach with mitomycin C injection is a novel technique that can be performed and offers the advantage of increasing aqueous outflow through a direct opening of the trabecular meshwork from within the anterior chamber. Conclusion : This technique provides effective management of failed trabeculectomy to achieve intraocular pressure lowering effect and a corresponding decrease in the risk of progressive glaucomatous optic neuropathy.
