| Abstrakt: | Patients presenting with elevated intraocular pressures (IOPs) refractory to laser peripheral iridotomy should be suspected to have plateau iris syndrome (PIS). We present an uncommonly seen case of a 59-year-old female who presented with blurred vision, left-sided head pain, and IOPs Oculus Uterque (OU). Despite medical and laser peripheral iridotomy, left eye pain and elevated IOPs persisted, which led to a suspected diagnosis of PIS. The patient was subsequently treated by a glaucoma specialist who performed argon laser iridoplasty. Following this procedure alongside appropriate pharmacologic maintenance treatment, the patient's symptoms and elevated IOPs were resolved. With proper management, irreversible blindness can be prevented in PIS. Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist. (Copyright © 2024, Shakoor et al.) |
