To report a case of hyphema after a bleb needling revision in a PreserFlo MicroShunt implantation.
An 87-year-old man suffering from bilateral open angle glaucoma was referred to our hospital with a diagnosis of unsatisfactory intraocular pressure (IOP) control in the right eye, despite the maximally tolerated medical therapy. The patient underwent PreserFlo MicroShunt implantation in his right eye. About 2 months after the surgical procedure, the IOP was raised because of bleb failure for subconjunctival scarring. A needling revision was performed at the slit lamp. During the procedure blood reflux through a PreserFlo MicroShunt device from a filtering bleb to the anterior chamber was observed, causing an IOP rise. Treatment with oral acetazolamide, topical steroid, and antibiotic resulted in the complete resolution of the hyphema in 2 weeks and a significant lowering in IOP.
This is the first reported case of blood reflux to the anterior chamber through a PreserFlo MicroShunt implant after a needling procedure.
报告一例在PreserFlo微型分流器植入术后进行滤过泡针刺修复后发生前房积血的病例。
一名87岁男性,患有双侧开角型青光眼,尽管接受了最大耐受量药物治疗,但右眼眼压控制不佳,遂转诊至我院。患者右眼接受了PreserFlo微型分流器植入术。手术约2个月后,由于结膜下瘢痕导致滤过泡失败,眼压升高。在裂隙灯下进行了针刺修复。术中观察到血液通过PreserFlo微型分流器装置从滤过泡反流至前房,导致眼压升高。口服乙酰唑胺、局部使用类固醇和抗生素治疗后,前房积血在2周内完全消退且眼压显著降低。
这是首例报道的针刺术后血液通过PreserFlo微型分流器植入物反流至前房的病例。
