Abstract

A 76-year-old man presented with right eyelid swelling and deteriorated vision. Examination revealed anterior uveitis with hypopyon and a visual acuity of 20/2,000 in the right eye, with no abnormalities in the left. Computed tomography revealed enlargement of the right maxillary sinus and internal fluid accumulation, suggesting a postoperative maxillary cyst (POMC). Nasal endoscopic surgery drained the pus by opening the lower wall of the maxillary cyst. Following the procedure, intraocular inflammation resolved, and visual acuity in the right eye improved to 24/20. This is the first reported case of uveitis secondary to POMC.

男，76岁，右眼睑肿大，视力恶化。检查示右眼视力20/ 2000，右眼前葡萄膜炎伴低视，左眼未见异常。计算机断层扫描显示右侧上颌窦增大和内部积液，提示术后上颌囊肿（POMC）。鼻内窥镜手术通过打开上颌囊肿的下壁排出脓液。手术后，眼内炎症消失，右眼视力改善至24/20。这是首例报道的葡萄膜炎继发于POMC。
