We report the case of a 33-year-old woman with a history of hypothyroidism and ocular history of mild myopia who presented with a spontaneous filtering bleb. Extensive systemic rheumatologic evaluation was unrevealing. The bleb was observed for many months, until the patient's vision declined secondary to the development of hypotony maculopathy. The filtering bleb was closed using an allogenic scleral patch graft, resulting in normotensive intraocular pressure and improved best-corrected visual acuity. A unilateral, spontaneous filtering bleb is a rare occurrence and is typically associated with systemic or ocular conditions. Complications such as hypotony can lead to visual impairment, and intervention is required. Early diagnosis and repair with donor scleral patch graft can prevent complications and provide an excellent cosmetic outcome.
我们报告了一例33岁女性患者,有甲状腺功能减退病史,眼部有轻度近视史,出现了自发性滤过泡。广泛的系统性风湿学评估未发现异常。该滤过泡观察了数月,直到患者因低眼压性黄斑病变导致视力下降。使用同种异体巩膜补片移植封闭滤过泡,眼压恢复正常,最佳矫正视力提高。单侧自发性滤过泡罕见,通常与全身或眼部疾病有关。低眼压等并发症可导致视力损害,需要进行干预。早期诊断并使用供体巩膜补片移植修复可预防并发症,并获得良好的美容效果。
