  • Title: Vitrectomy and translocation of the anterior chamber intraocular lens to the sulcus: a closed microsurgical technique for the UGH syndrome.
    Author: Gualtieri W, Rossini P, Forlini C.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging; 2008; 39(4):325-7. PubMed ID: 18717440.
    Abstract:
    This interventional case report presents an anterior chamber intraocular lens (AC-IOL) translocation technique to manage a case of uveitis-glaucoma-hyphema (UGH) syndrome associated with posterior dislocation of nuclear fragments and vitreitis as a consequence of capsule rupture during cataract surgery. Pars plana vitrectomy followed by an AC-IOL translocation from the anterior chamber to the sulcus without additional surgical corneal incision was performed. At 12 months' follow-up, the original AC-IOL was in stable position in the posterior chamber, with binocular refractive balance and no further astigmatism and resolution of the UGH syndrome.
