Ocular pyogenic granuloma is a benign tumor seen after ocular insult secondary to ocular surgeries, trauma or infection. Although benign, intervention is sometimes necessary. Previous authors have reported pyogenic granuloma formation following oculoplastic surgeries. We report a pyogenic granuloma after an Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation. A 65-year-old gentleman presented with right eye redness associated with pain and swelling ~2 months after Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation. Examination found a sessile growth on the tube extruding puss with signs of endophthalmitis. The glaucoma drainage device was explanted and culture results grew Staphylococcus aureus. This article discusses the formation of pyogenic granuloma on a glaucoma drainage device and its management.
眼脓性肉芽肿是眼外伤、手术或感染后出现的良性肿瘤。虽然是良性的，但有时需要干预。以前的作者已经报道了眼成形手术后脓性肉芽肿的形成。我们报告了 Ahmed 青光眼引流阀植入术后的脓性肉芽肿。一位 65 岁的男性在 Ahmed 青光眼引流阀植入术后约 2 个月出现右眼红肿，伴有疼痛和肿胀。检查发现管上有一个无蒂生长，挤出脓液，伴有眼内炎的迹象。青光眼引流装置被取出，培养结果为金黄色葡萄球菌。本文讨论了青光眼引流装置上脓性肉芽肿的形成及其处理。
