چکیده
PURPOSE To describe a patient with Behçet's disease and anterior uveitis, which was not cured by local and systemic corticosteroid treatments, who underwent trabeculotomy one week after infliximab administration. METHODS The patient received preoperative antibiotic therapy followed by trabeculotomy one week after infliximab administration. We observed ocular findings before and after surgery. RESULTS Anterior uveitis improved after infliximab administration. The elevated intraocular pressure improved after surgery and there were no intraoperative complications. Neither ocular inflammatory attacks nor infectious complications were found in the operated eye of the patient during follow-up. CONCLUSION Trabeculotomy one week after administration of infliximab appears to be safe and effective in treating secondary glaucoma associated with Behçet's disease.
