We describe the case of a 41-year-old male that underwent laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) complicated by Urrets-Zavalia syndrome with interface fluid syndrome and epithelial ingrowth.
The patient presented at our institution with headache and blurred vision three weeks after a right microkeratome-assisted LASIK procedure. On examination, the visual acuity was hand movements and the intraocular pressure (IOP) was 45 mmHg with fluid in the flap interface, a fixed pupil in moderate mydriasis, iris transillumination and cells in the anterior chamber. A Baerveldt tube implant was necessary to control the IOP. After three months, the corrected visual acuity was 20/40 with normal IOP and an early cataract.
To our knowledge this is the first report of a case of combined Urrets-Zavalia syndrome and interface fluid syndrome after LASIK. We speculate that steroid induced ocular hypertension was the primary cause.
我们描述了一例41岁男性患者,其接受准分子原位角膜磨镶术(LASIK)后并发乌雷茨 - 扎瓦利亚综合征,伴有界面液体积聚综合征和上皮内生。
该患者在接受右侧微型角膜刀辅助LASIK手术后三周,因头痛和视力模糊前来我院就诊。检查发现,视力为手动,眼压(IOP)为45 mmHg,瓣下界面有液体,瞳孔固定于中度散大状态,虹膜透照,前房有细胞。需要植入Baerveldt管来控制眼压。三个月后,矫正视力为20/40,眼压正常,但出现早期白内障。
据我们所知,这是首例LASIK术后并发乌雷茨 - 扎瓦利亚综合征和界面液体积聚综合征的病例报告。我们推测类固醇诱导的高眼压是主要原因。
