We report resolution of bilateral angle closure in a young patient with plateau iris following clear lens extraction
A 30 year old female presented with bilateral angle closure.
After a failed attempt of laser iridotomy, there was immediate resolution of angle closure following clear lens extraction by phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation. Postoperative ultrasound biomicroscopy identified anteriorly rotated ciliary processes in both eyes.
This case report highlights the role of therapeutic clear lens extraction in angle closure due to plateau iris.
我们报告了一位年轻患者在进行晶状体超声乳化摘除及人工晶状体植入术后,双侧闭角型青光眼消退。
一位 30 岁女性患者出现双侧闭角型青光眼。
在激光虹膜切开术失败后,行晶状体超声乳化摘除术后,双眼的闭角型青光眼立即消退。术后超声生物显微镜检查发现双眼睫状突向前旋转。
本病例报告强调了治疗性晶状体超声乳化摘除在由高褶虹膜引起的闭角型青光眼中的作用。
