To report a case of Ahmed glaucoma drainage device tube erosion due to suspected mitomycin C-induced ischemia of surrounding conjunctival tissue and its successful management using a forniceal pedicle flap.
Observation
A 71-year-old female with a history of prior failed trabeculectomy with mitomycin C (MMC) presented with tube erosion one month postoperatively following Ahmed glaucoma drainage device (GDD) implantation. The patient underwent primary repair with an amniotic membrane graft. Due to rapid, extensive, recurrent erosion seven weeks later, MMCtissue toxicity was suspected as the etiology of tube exposure. A forniceal conjunctival pedicle flap reconstruction was utilized to reestablish vascularity and successfully prevented recurrent erosion.
Conclusion and importance
Tube erosion due to MMC-induced ischemia may cause recurrent degradation of the surrounding conjunctival tissue, posing an infectious risk. Reconstruction with a forniceal pedicle flap is a powerful technique to repair GDD erosions in the setting of large tissue defects and/or poor vascularity.
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Ophthalmology Case Reports is a peer-reviewed, scientific publication that welcomes the submission of original, previously unpublished case report manuscripts directed to ophthalmologists and visual science specialists. The cases shall be challenging and stimulating but shall also be presented in an educational format to engage the readers as if they are working alongside with the caring clinician scientists to manage the patients. Submissions shall be clear, concise, and well-documented reports. Brief reports and case series submissions on specific themes are also very welcome.
