Malignant glaucoma after phacoemulsification: treatment with diode laser cyclophotocoagulation.

Phacoemulsification was performed in an 84-year-old woman with ocular hypertension and narrow drainage angles, previously treated by neodymium:YAG (Nd:YAG) laser peripheral iridotomy. Despite temporal zonular weakness, the surgery was uneventful. An intraocular lens (IOL) was placed and centered in the capsular bag. Two months later, the patient presented with malignant glaucoma. The IOL optic was anteriorly displaced in the capsular bag, and the IOL shift correlated with a -4.0 diopter myopic refractive error. There was no response after medical treatment or Nd:YAG hyaloidotomy. One week later, a single treatment with transscleral diode laser cyclophotocoagulation was performed. The intraocular pressure normalized and the anterior chamber deepened within 48 hours. The patient's condition has remained stable for 3 months with no further treatment; the Snellen visual acuity is 6/9. If medical therapy fails to control malignant glaucoma, cyclodiode laser treatment may be more effective and have fewer risks than current laser and surgical interventions.

Post-streptococcal uveitis.

PURPOSE: To describe the clinical features of post-streptococcal uveitis (PSU) and examine management strategies in the treatment of this under-recognized condition. METHODS: Patients were identified from the world literature using the Pubmed search engine. We examined two new cases of post-streptococcal intermediate uveitis. The epidemiology, immune mechanisms, clinical features, investigations, treatments and visual outcomes were examined and recorded. RESULTS: We reviewed 11 patients including our own two cases. There was a statistically significant seasonal difference in antistreptolysin-O titres (ASOT), and age-related ASOT was identified. Of the 11 patients, eight (72.7%) had anterior uveitis, two (18.2%) had intermediate uveitis and one (9.1%) had panuveitis. Their ages ranged from 5 to 56 years (mean 17 years). The majority of cases had significantly elevated ASOT; most patients were treated with topical steroids and oral antibiotics and four cases underwent adenotonsillectomy. The visual prognosis was good in most cases. CONCLUSIONS: Uveitis may be the sole presenting clinical feature, or it may occur in combination with other features of post-streptococcal infection. Ophthalmologists should be aware of the clinical features of PSU and maintain a high level of suspicion, particularly in childhood uveitis.
