Secondary glaucoma due to anterior chamber lipoma and uveitis in a Pekingese dog
Authors
Abstract:
The present study introduces a rare case with secondary glaucoma due to anterior chamber lipoma and uveitis in a Pekingese dog in Iran. A four-year-old castrated male Pekingese dog was referred to the private clinic with impaired vision of the left eye, pain, rubbing the left eye onto carpet, presence of a milkycoloured mass into the anterior chamber, and loss of appetite. The clinical examination, haematological and biochemical tests, fluorescein staining, measurement of intraocular pressure and ultrasonography were conducted. Based on all results, medical and surgical treatments were carried out. The mass was removed surgically and its histopathologic study revealed lipoma. The eye appearance became normal within 6 weeks. Authors concluded that the milky-coloured mass in the anterior chamber may have caused secondary glaucoma due to obstruction of the aqueous outflow from iridocorneal angle and uveitis.

The incidence of uveitis caused by syphilis has fluctuated during the past century. This paper suggests ways in which the diagnosis of this condition may be helped by reactions to chemotherapy. It also reports on a 22 year old woman presenting with anterior uveitis due to secondary syphilis, who rapidly developed bilateral papilloedema on starting antisyphilitic chemotherapy. She later develope...
full textCombined iridencleisis and posterior sclerectomy in surgical treatment of glaucoma secondary to uveitis in a dog: a case report
In early diagnosed and causally treated cases of secondary glaucoma, it is possible to save the sight in a glaucomatous eye and to preserve the sight in a healthy eye. The most common causes of secondary glaucoma include anterior uveitis, in which diverse pathological processes can lead to an increase in IOP. In cases of treating glaucoma secondary to uveitis with annular posterior synechiae in...
full textDiagnostic anterior chamber paracentesis in uveitis: a safe procedure?
BACKGROUND Differentiation between infectious and non-infectious uveitis is of crucial value for accurate management of patients with uveitis. Tests performed on aqueous humour yield more relevant information than those done in serum. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether the aqueous humour tap for diagnostic purposes is a safe procedure to perform in uveitis patients. METHODS I...
full textAnterior chamber depth in open angle glaucoma.
Anterior chamber depth was measured in patients with primary open angle glaucoma, low tension glaucoma, pigmentary dispersion syndrome, and glaucoma suspects. Multiple linear regression analysis demonstrated that anterior chamber depth is a function of sex, age, and refractive error. Values for anterior chamber depth corrected for age and refractive error were greater in patients with pigmentar...
