  • Title: Surgical reconstruction for angle-closure glaucoma due to a flat anterior chamber following trabeculectomy.
    Author: Tanihara H, Inatani M, Kobori A, Honda Y.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Surg Lasers; 1997 Jun; 28(6):510-2. PubMed ID: 9189957.
    Abstract:
    In cases in which filtration surgery such as trabeculectomy is necessary, a flat anterior chamber postoperatively due to overfiltration may cause severe problems in the control of intraocular pressure. Once a broad synechia has formed between the iris and the corneal endothelium, this type of refractory, surgically induced angle closure can be difficult to manage. This article details a case of refractory angle-closure glaucoma secondary to a flat anterior chamber following trabeculectomy. Multiple surgical treatments were performed to control intraocular pressure and to reconstruct the anterior segment of the eye.
