Abstract

A 25-year-old female who was followed up since 2000 after being diagnosed with uveitis underwent Ahmed valve implantation in her left eye for uveitic glaucoma in 2007. During the surgery, less than 2 mm corneal Descemet’s membrane detachment at the side was seen to extend forward towards the central cornea. As the Descemet’s membrane was not steadied by supplying viscoelastics and air into the anterior chamber, 3 single cornea sutures were applied in the first week. After the removal of the corneal sutures in the third month, Descemet’s membrane detachment recurred and the corneal suturing was repeated. The final findings showed that the Descemet’s membrane was steadied by the existing corneal sutures, best corrected visual acuity was 0.1, and intraocular pressure was 10 mmHg without medication in both eyes. Although Descemet’s membrane detachment is a rare complication of Ahmed valve implantation, its potential for occurrence should be taken into consideration.

Özet

İki bin yılından itibaren kliniğimiz üvea-behçet bölümünde bilateral üveit tanısı ile takip edilen 25 yaşındaki bayan hastanın sol gözüne 2007 yılında üveite bağlı glokom nedeni ile Ahmed glokom valv implantı yerleştirildi. Peroperatuvar yan kesi yerinde gelişen 2 mm’den küçük descement membran dekolmanının kornea santraline ilerlediği görüldü. Viskoelastik ve hava enjeksiyonu ile yatıştırılamayan korneaya postoperatif 1. haftada tam kat 3 adet tek sütür atıldı ve hasta takibe alındı. Kornea sütürasyon sonrası 3. ayda sütür alımını takiben descement membran dekolmanının tekrar gelişmesi üzerine yeniden kornea sütürasyonu yapıldı. Mevcut sütürlerle descement membransı yatışık ve 0.1 görme keskinliği ile sağ ve sol göz ilaçsız 10 mmHg tonusla takip edilmektedir. Ahmed glokom valv implantasyonu sırasında descement membran dekolmanı nadir görülen bir komplikasyon olmasına rağmen ortaya çıkma ihtimali göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır.
