Abstrakt: Clinical Case: An 85 year-old woman presented with a flat anterior chamber of the left eye, severe ocular hypertension, and a normal ultrasound examination in the day following a penetrating keratoplasty (PK). The clinical status did not respond to maximum medical therapy, laser posterior capsulotomy, anterior hyaloidotomy, and complete 23 G vitrectomy. The patient refused further intervention, and light perception was lost after 6 months of follow-up.
Discussion: This is the first report of refractory aqueous misdirection syndrome following primary PK. Despite maximum medical and surgical management efforts, aqueous misdirection syndrome subsequent to primary PK may have a catastrophic outcome.
