Simultaneous Bilateral Implantation of Ex-Press Glaucoma Shunt for Secondary Glaucoma Treatment Due to Axenfeld-Rieger Syndrome: A Case Report
Axenfeld-Rieger Syndrome (ARS) is a rare genetic disease affecting multiple organ systems. In the eye, it can be manifested with varying degrees of anterior segment dysgenesis and it carries a high risk of glaucoma [1]. Recent advantages in molecular genetics have identified two major genes, PITX2 and FOXC1, demonstrating a wide spectrum of mutations, which aids in the molecular diagnosis of th...

متن کاملSurgical treatment of neovascular glaucoma with Ex-PRESS glaucoma shunt
RATIONALE Neovascular glaucoma (NVG) is one of the most aggressive types of glaucoma, and its abnormal fibrovascular tissue growth on the iris and trabecular meshwork may create difficulties to control the intraocular pressure (IOP) and perform the operation such as trabeculectomy. PATIENT CONCERNS Ex-PRESS glaucoma shunt has been introduced to serve as one alternative operation for glaucoma,...

متن کاملEvaluation of Ex-PRESS mini glaucoma shunt implantation in refractory postpenetrating keratoplasty glaucoma.
PURPOSE To evaluate the intraocular pressure (IOP) control and graft survival after Ex-PRESS mini glaucoma shunt implantation in refractory postpenetrating keratoplasty glaucoma. METHODS The study included postpenetrating keratoplasty glaucoma cases unresponsive to medical antiglaucomatous therapy in whom 15 Ex-PRESS mini glaucoma shunt implantation was carried out. All glaucoma shunt implant...
