Choroidal detachment-induced secondary angle-closure after trabeculectomy in patient with ocular venous congestion: A case report.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To report a particular circumstance that led to the abnormal complication of choroidal detachment (CD)-induced secondary angle-closure after trabeculectomy with mitomycin C (MMC).

Observations

An 82-year-old Japanese male patient with underlying chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and suspicion of ocular venous congestion in both eyes whom diagnosed as primary open-angle glaucoma with uncontrolled intraocular pressure (IOP) of his left eye then underwent an uneventful trabeculectomy with MMC. After the surgery, his left eye had high IOP with a shallow anterior chamber (A/C) but the bleb was hyperfiltration. The high CD was found by B-scan ultrasonography behind the iris and after conservative treatment, the CD was improved, A/C was deepened, and IOP was lower to 16
