To report a case of corneal decompensation due to the Ex-PRESS(®) mini glaucoma shunt device (Ex-PRESS).
A 75-year-old man had pseudoexfoliation glaucoma in his right eye. He underwent filtration surgery with Ex-PRESS. His intraocular pressure was 7 mmHg after 9 months.
We observed partial decompensation of the corneal endothelium adjacent to the filtering bleb. Specular microscopy revealed a marked decrease in the endothelial cell density at the center of the cornea.
Anterior segment optical coherence tomography is very useful for evaluating corneal edema and the position of Ex-PRESS. It is important to follow up with an examination of the corneal endothelial cells.
报告一例因Ex-PRESS(®)微型青光眼分流装置(Ex-PRESS)导致角膜失代偿的病例。
一名75岁男性右眼患有假性剥脱性青光眼。他接受了Ex-PRESS滤过手术。9个月后其眼压为7 mmHg。
我们观察到滤过泡附近的角膜内皮出现部分失代偿。镜面显微镜检查显示角膜中央的内皮细胞密度显著降低。
眼前段光学相干断层扫描对于评估角膜水肿和Ex-PRESS的位置非常有用。对角膜内皮细胞进行检查以进行随访很重要。
