Ocular decompression retinopathy after laser iridotomy in a patient with acute angle closure
A 65-year-old female developed elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) with angle closure in the right eye. The fundus examination revealed vitreo-retinal hemorrhage that had occurred after neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser iridotomy. The retinal hemorrhage resolved spontaneously. This is a rare complication that occurs when the IOP is lowered rapidly. Ocular decompression reti...
متن کاملOcular Decompression Retinopathy Following Canaloplasty for Primary Open Angle Glaucoma
Ocular decompression retinopathy (ODR), a rare postoperative complication following glaucoma surgery, is characterized by the transient appearance of scattered retinal hemorrhages. Here, we present a unique case of ODR in a patient with primary open angle glaucoma who underwent canaloplasty. A 31-year-old male patient presented with an intraocular pressure (IOP) of 60 mm Hg in the right eye. Th...
متن کاملAppositional angle closure in Chinese with primary angle closure and primary angle closure glaucoma after laser peripheral iridotomy.
PURPOSE To determine the prevalence of appositional angle closure (AAC) after laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) in the eyes of Chinese patients with primary angle closure (PAC) and primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) and to evaluate its pathogenesis by investigating anatomic characteristics. METHODS This was a cross-sectional observational study. PAC and PACG subjects were consecutively enro...
متن کامل[Treatment of acute angle-closure glaucoma].
Treatment of acute angle-closure glaucoma is now better adapted for each stage of the disease. The urgent necessity to lower intraocular pressure is normally achieved using medical therapy followed by laser peripheral iridotomy and sometimes by filtration surgery. Early argon laser peripheral iridoplasty is effective and safe in some cases, allowing a very early peripheral iridotomy to be perfo...
متن کاملDecompression retinopathy after trabeculectomy.
PURPOSE To present a case of a unilateral diffuse retinal hemorrhage in a 15-year-old girl, who underwent bilateral trabeculectomy for steroid induced glaucoma. METHODS Despite the maximally tolerable medical treatment, IOP in the right eye remained above 50 mmHg for four months, and was simultaneously elevated in the left eye. So we performed bilateral trabeculectomy. RESULTS On the first ...
