Abstract
Purpose: To describe a case of presumed MMC-induced retinal toxicity following combined cataract and Xen gel stent surgery.
Methods: Observational case report.
Results: A 66-year-old male presents with progressive vision loss (20/25 baseline to light-perception (LP)) following combined cataract and Xen gel stent surgery in the left eye. The patient received 0.15 ml of 0.4 mg/ml of MMC via intra-tenon injection during the surgery. The patient reported severe eye pain following surgery which gradually resolved over time. Upon examination at post-operative day 41, vessel attenuation, sclerotic vessels, and optic nerve pallor are observed without any retinal hemorrhaging. At post-operative day 55, visual acuity remains at LP with a flat line electroretinogram. Outcomes remain consistent at postoperative day 125.
Conclusion: Care should be taken to avoid intraocular MMC, especially when administered via intra-tenon injection during combined cataract and Xen gel stent surgery.
