| Popis: | Case report: We report a case of a 26-year-old woman with a previous history of complicated ulcerative colitis, as well as multiple episodes of recurrent anterior uveitis in control with adalimumab and methotrexate, who develops ocular hypertension refractory to topical treatment. The implant of an EXPRESS® is proposed, but in the immediate post-operative period, the implant causes atalamia and does not achieve the correct control of intraocular pressure. A XEN® stent was implanted. Due to failure, it was decided to remove the stent and to release a subconjunctival fibrosis that had formed at the subconjunctival portion of the XEN®, in association with coating by an Ologen® collagen matrix, which led to an improvement of the results. Conclusions: The surgical management of inflammatory glaucoma is complex in young patients with a scar component. The new minimally invasive techniques are effective in cases refractory to topical treatment, whose characteristics prevent the use of conventional ones. GMS Ophthalmology Cases; 10:Doc43 |
