RÉSUMÉ

Purpose@#We report a case of aqueous misdirection syndrome triggered by pilocarpine use after laser iridotomy, which was treated by pars plana vitrectomy and phacoemulsification.Case summary: A 48-year-old female patient presented with sudden-onset right eye pain and decreased vision. The patient had presented to another institute with similar symptoms 20 days prior; she had been diagnosed with acute angle closure. Laser iridotomy was performed, followed by administration of pilocarpine twice daily. In the right eye, visual acuity was hand motion, and intraocular pressure was 31 mmHg. The laser iridotomy site was located at the 11 o’clock position; microcysts, anterior chamber cells, corneal endothelium precipitates, and glaukomflecken were observed. The anterior chamber was shallow due to forward movement of the lens and iris. Despite the application of atropine and pressure-lowering eyedrops, anterior chamber shallowing continued along with a progressive myopic shift of -4.5 diopters. Therefore, the patient was diagnosed with aqueous misdirection syndrome. Pars plana vitrectomy was performed, followed by phacoemulsification, intraocular lens insertion, and posterior capsulotomy. During surgery, vitreous inflammation, a peripheral snowball, and an anterior hyaloid inflammatory membrane were observed, indicating the presence of intermediate uveitis. @*Conclusions@#The administration of miotics after laser iridotomy, intraocular inflammation, and uveitis can lead to aqueous misdirection syndrome. Effective treatment of aqueous misdirection syndrome involves controlling inflammation and performing surgery.

RÉSUMÉ

Purpose@#We report a case of sympathetic ophthalmia in which the inciting eye was treated with a tectonic keratoplasty using acellular preserved human cornea.Case summary: A 68-year-old man whose left eye was injured by a nail visited our institute complaining of a recent decrease in bilateral vision. The best corrected visual acuity was 0.32 for the right eye and 0.16 for the left. On slit-lamp examination, a superior peripheral corneal perforation with no wound leakage due to iris plugging was seen in the left eye (i.e., the inciting eye). The right eye (i.e., the sympathizing eye) had mutton-fat keratic precipitates and copious fibrinoid strands in the anterior chamber. Bilateral exudative retinal detachment with choroidal folds was prominent in both eyes. The next day, the necrotic iris lump was removed from the inciting eye and adhesiolysis of the iris and tectonic keratoplasty using acellular preserved human cornea were performed. Systemic steroid was started immediately postoperatively. The exudative retinal detachment improved in both eyes and cataract surgery was undertaken for the inciting eye 4 months later. Twenty-one months after the initial visit, the uncorrected visual acuity was 1.0 in the inciting eye, and both eyes had a sunset glow fundus appearance, without optic atrophy or recurrent chorioretinitis. @*Conclusions@#Tectonic keratoplasty using acellular preserved human cornea with anti-inflammatory treatment may be a favorable therapeutic option for the inciting eye with peripheral corneal perforation in sympathetic ophthalmia.
