Corneal graft failure due to migration of Ozurdex™ implant into the anterior chamber.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

We report a case of corneal endothelial graft failure secondary to dexamethasone intravitreal implant (Ozurdex™) migration into the anterior chamber (AC).

Observations

A 53-year-old man with a history of bilateral idiopathic chronic uveitis, had a right anterior vitrectomy and AC intraocular lens (ACIOL) with a peripheral iridotomy. He received an intravitreal Ozurdex™ implant for right cystoid macular oedema (CMO). Three months later he developed pseudophakic bullous keratopathy and underwent a Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK), combined with IOL exchange (ACIOL explantation followed by scleral fixated posterior chamber IOL). He developed recurrent CMO post-operatively, for which he had a second Ozurdex™ implant. Six weeks following the i
