  • Title: A Case of Uveitis-Glaucoma-Hyphema Syndrome Related to a Hydrus Microstent.
    Author: Kaplan TM, Sit AJ.
    Journal: J Glaucoma; 2024 Jan 01; 33(1):51-54. PubMed ID: 37585416.
    Abstract:
    Uveitis-Glaucoma-Hyphema (UGH) syndrome is characterized by episodes of anterior chamber inflammation, elevated intraocular pressure and hyphema. It is caused by a mechanical chafing of the iris or ciliary body typically by a malpositioned intraocular lens. We present a rare case of UGH syndrome related to the insertion of a Hydrus Microstent. Because of the increased number of microinvasive glaucoma surgeries being performed and a reduction of UGH syndrome patients related to the insertion of intraocular lenses, it is an important diagnosis to consider in patients with recurrent postoperative inflammation.
