A case of ocular hypertension complicated by SUNCT syndrome.

Abstract

We report a 53-year-old woman with laser iridotomy (LI)-resistant angle-closure and conjunctival injection, which was thought to be the cause of ciliochoroidal effusion associated with short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache with conjunctival injection and tearing (SUNCT) syndrome. LI had no effect on any of the symptoms except for intraocular pressure. The symptoms disappeared after a subsequent procedure for SUNCT syndrome. MRI of the left eye showed ciliochoroidal effusion at paroxysm and was normalized upon relief.
