ABSTRACT
Iridocorneal endothelial(ICE) syndrome is charaterized by unilateral glaucoma, abnormal corneal endothelium with proliferation, and iris stromal abnormalities. Uncontrolled glaucoma in ICE syndrome has been treated with filtering surgery, but the late failures occurred frequently. The medical records of nine patients with ICE syndrome that underwent glaucoma surgery were retrospectively reviewed. 6 eyes were progressive iris atrophy, and 3 eyes were Cogan-Reese syndrome. The success rates of primary trabeculectomy at 1 and 2 years were 57.1% and 33.3%, respectively. Ahmed glaucoma valve implant oeprations were performed on 6 eyes with failed previous filtering operation. 4 of 6 eyes resulted in controlled IOP until last follow up visit(mean ; 18.8 months). Overall, 1.9 times operations were needed to control IOP. Operations were performed only one time in 4 patients and two times in 3 patients to control IOP.
