Abstract

Introduction : Hyphema results from damage to the blood vessels of the iris or anterior ciliary body after blunt trauma, and in 56–100% of cases can occur angle recession. Case Illustration : A 40-year-old man complaints of pain and blurred left eye after being sprayed by a high-pressure fire hydrant five hours before coming to the emergency room. Visual acuity was 20/20 and hand movement in right and left eye, IOP is 13 mmHg and 18 mmHg in both eyes. Subconjunctival bleeding, conjunctival and pericorneal injections were found with punctate fluorescein test in the left eye. The cornea was edema and the anterior chamber was full of hyphema. Five days after being hospitalized and treated with topical atropine, antibiotics, and steroid in combination with oral tranexamic acid, the visual acuity was 5/6.5 and the hyphema was resolved. The IOP elevated after 1-6 weeks of follow-up in the outpatient clinic then timolol eyedrops were given. Gonioscopy showed widening of CBB, torn iris processus 2 clock hours in the inferior quadrant. The antiglaucoma medication was stopped due to the controlled IOP in the end episode of the treatment. Discussion : Angle recession involves a tear between the longitudinal and circular muscle fibres of the ciliary body. Medication is needed to control the IOP, while surgical management only indicated in cases where medical treatment fails to control the IOP and risk of progressive visual loss. Conclusion : Angle recession can occur after blunt eye trauma with hyphema and IOP control is needed to prevent the development of secondary glaucoma.

Abstract

Introduction : Nonspecific Orbital Inflammation (NSOI) is an inflammatory condition of unknown etiology manifesting as pain, ocular motility disturbances, eyelid edema, chemosis, and increased intraocular pressure (IOP). We illustrate a case of glaucoma secondary to NSOI and the importance of understanding the cause-effect relationship between the two conditions. Case Illustration : An eighteen-year-old girl presented with severe pain, ptosis, chemosis, ophthalmoplegia, and increased IOP (38 mmHg) despite a leaking trabeculectomy bleb, on the left eye. She was referredwith the diagnosis of primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) and a history of twice trabeculectomy surgeries done elsewhere two months before she came to our hospital. She could not move her lefteye nasally five months before the first surgery and felt joint pains for a year. After thorough diagnostics, she was assessed with left eye NSOI and secondary glaucoma with spondyloarthropathy. Oral prednisone 30 mg/day was given to manage the inflammation and the resultant glaucoma. One week follow-up showed an improved condition with decreased IOP (16 mmHg) despite the same anti-glaucoma therapy regimen. Discussion : NSOI can mimic various diseases, making diagnosis challenging. The raised IOP in NSOI is often caused by extraocular muscles and orbital tissue swelling, which compresses the superior and inferior ophthalmic veins, resulting in choroidal circulation problems. The IOP was quickly reduced once the inflammation was managed. This is a case of secondary glaucoma caused by an overlooked NSOI, aggravated by the immunological process in the orbit after trabeculectomy surgeries. Conclusion : Secondary glaucoma should be considered as a differential diagnosis of PACG in patients with NSOI.
