The clinical findings in this patient are appropriate for classical signs and symptoms of KSS. Central nervous involvementis shown by the neuroimaging result.

Most cases require surgical intervention such as vitrectomy. However, even after successful treatment, it can reoccur in some cases. We present two cases of recurrent malignant glaucoma. \u0000Case Illustration : The first case involved a 48-year-old female with primary angle closure glaucoma who developed malignant glaucoma 1-week after undergoing combined glaucoma surgery. The second case involved a 70-year-old man with primary angle closure glaucoma and pseudophakia who developed malignant glaucoma 4-month after trabeculectomy. They received total vitrectomy treatment. We observed anterior chamber deepening in these 2 cases, but intraocular pressure remained increased 2-week after intervention. \u0000Discussion : We found improvement in anatomy by deepening the anterior chamber, but the intraocular pressure increased in the 2 weeks. Although the problem of releasing aqueous accumulations from the vitreous has been resolved after vitrectomy, but there is no permanent passage between the anterior chamber and the vitreous cavity. So, recurrences can occur. It is possible to manage this condition by restoring aqueous flow from the anterior vitreous to the anterior chamber. YAG laser capsulo- hyaloidotomy or vitrectomy combined with hyaloido-zonula-iridectomy are frequently effective in treating underlying causes. \u0000Conclusion : Vitrectomy can help to improve the deepening anterior chamber, but intraocular pressure may remain increased after 2-week follow-up.

As a “silent thief of sight”, glaucoma ranked second worldwide and third in Indonesia as the cause of blindness. The cause of glaucoma varies, one of which is lens-induced which presents as loss of vision and red eye. \u0000Case Illustration : A 53-year-old female complained about blurred and pained red eyes. Examination of the right eye revealed VOD 1/300, cloudy-milky lens, phacodonesis, and IOP 26.3 mmHg. She was diagnosed with angle-closure glaucoma suspected as phacomorphic or other lens-induced and was treated by topical hypotensive agents and phacoemulsification with IOL implantation procedure.

Improvement on two weeks follow- up revealed VA 6/15 with best VA of 6/6, IOP 15.7 mmHg, CD ratio 0.5, and negative glaucoma optic neuropathy (GON) finding. \u0000Discussion : When accompanied by phacodonesis, angle-closure glaucoma is mainly caused by a secondary process. It involves zonule of Zinn fragility, which usually occurs in subluxation but also appear in hypermature cataract. Dilated eye examination showed no sign of subluxation, therefore the final diagnosis was phacomorphic glaucoma and hypermature cataract. Cataract surgery as the definitive treatment must be done at an appropriate time as was done for this patient with a favorable outcome. \u0000Conclusion : The presence of phacodonesis in angle-closure glaucoma should be thoroughly evaluated.

The ocular surface was treated with a 1 U/mL microbial transglutaminase solution, and both the epithelial-off and transepithelial groups were exposed to clinical ultraviolet A-riboflavin (UVA/RF).

Ocular manifestations in HIV/AIDS have similar clinical features though the management therapies are different. \u0000Case Illustration : A 47-year-old man was presented with blurred vision on LE since 4 months. Patient was diagnosed with HIV/AIDS since 2 years. Patient only had light perception on LE, and 5/10 on RE. The LE anterior segment showed flare and cell indicating active anterior uveitis. The LE posterior segment revealed extensive hemorrhage and exudate known as ‘pizza pie’ appearance, and cotton wool spot with multiple ischemic areas on RE. Laboratory tests revealed reactive IgG CMV and very low CD4 count (4 cell/?l). Patient was also diagnosed with Tinea Corporis, Scabies, and Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia. Oral Valganciclovir 900 mg was administered twice a day for 3 weeks, along with anti- retroviral therapy. \u0000Discussion : The anterior uveitis and ‘pizza pie’ appearance with positive CMV IgG indicate CMV Retinitis in fulminant form. Cotton wool spot found in the RE leads to retinal microvasculopathy due to HIV invading the vascular endothelium and causing increased plasma viscosity.
