Cyclodialysis cleft repair with goniotomy for the control of post-operative ocular hypertension.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

In this case of iatrogenic cyclodialysis cleft, we describe a technique in which a nasal goniotomy is coupled with indirect cyclodialysis cleft (CDC) repair in order to minimize acute post-operative ocular hypertension, which is common following cyclodialysis cleft closure.

Observations

This novel technique was simple, convenient, and effective in controlling intraocular pressure (IOP) for the patient.

Conclusions and importance

IOP frequently spikes to dangerously high levels following CDC closure. Pairing CDC repair with goniotomy may help prevent acute post-operative ocular hypertension in these patients.
