ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To report a patient with symptomatic intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation in an eye with neovascular glaucoma (NVG) during hemodialysis.METHODS:
Case report.RESULTS:
Recurrent episodes of severe ocular pain and elevated IOP in the NVG eye were noted during hemodialysis in a 29-year-old man. The patient was recently diagnosed at our ophthalmology clinic with NVG due to central retinal vein occlusion. IOP was temporarily controlled after the Ahmed valve implantation. However, after the fibrous membrane developed and occluded the tip of the Ahmed valve, IOP elevation during hemodialysis recurred. Further treatments with intravenous mannitol, oral carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, topical antiglaumatic agents and subconjunctival 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) injections all failed to control relapsing pain and IOP elevation. Eventually, evisceration and hydroxyappatite implantation were performed.CONCLUSIONS:
Physicians must be alert to the possibility of IOP elevation in glaucomatous eyes during hemodialysis.
