Late recurrent iris synechia following laser goniopuncture for deep sclerectomy enhancement: case report.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a case of recurrent iris synechiae one year after Nd:YAG laser goniopuncture for deep sclerectomy enhancement in the only functional eye of a patient with end-stage glaucoma. The possible pathophysiology of this uncommon complication and laser treatment aspects are discussed.

Laser Treatment to avoid Trabeculectomy and to recover the Aqueous Outflow after Iris Incarceration in a Patient with NPDS
The advantages of the nonpenetrating deep sclerectomy (NPDS) compared with the trabeculectomy are based on faster recovery and lower incidence of complications. The incarceration of the iris at the trabeculo-Descemet's membrane is one complication of NPDS and leads frequently to the reoperation of the patient. We report one case operated of NPDS with iris incarceration post-Nd:YAG goniopuncture...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the morphologic characteristics of the trabeculo-Descemet membrane (TDM) by in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) after deep sclerectomy with collagen implant and to correlate the findings with the intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering effect of goniopuncture. METHODS Twenty eyes of 19 patients were evaluated in a prospective, observational case series. Examination using IVC...

PURPOSE To assess long-term efficacy and safety of deep sclerectomy (DS) in uveitic glaucoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirty-three consecutive eyes (21 patients) with uveitic glaucoma underwent DS with mitomycin C and implant. Goniopuncture (GP) was done for uncontrolled postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP). RESULTS Mean (± SD) follow-up was 33.2 (± 19.8) months. IOP was reduced from a mea...
