Trabeculectomy in the management of Posner-Schlossman syndrome.

Abstract

Posner-Schlossman syndrome (glaucomatocyclitic crisis) is a condition of unknown etiology. Patients present with blurred vision, show minimal anterior chamber activity, and raised intraocular pressure (IOP). Corneal edema may cause colored halos. The condition tends to be recurrent, usually responding to a topical steroid and ocular hypotensives. The eyes appear normal between attacks. We present a patient who had bilateral Posner-Schlossman syndrome and underwent filtering surgery to control raised intraocular pressure in both eyes. During the follow up of more than 4 years, the control of IOP was good and he had no further attacks.
