ABSTRACT
A case of early-onset sclerolimbal ectasia following low-dose topical mitomycin C application during uveitic glaucoma surgery is reported. Intraoperative and postoperative clinical courses were consistent with sclerolimbal ectasia. Adjunctive utilization of intraoperative low-dose 0.02% mitomycin C for the management of chronic uveitic glaucoma patients who are under concomitant systemic immunosuppressive regimen may enhance the risk of subacute postoperative sclerolimbal ectasia. Mitomycin C concentrations < 0.02%, decreased scleral exposure time, and a strict informed consent policy are strongly recommended in this subset of uveitic patients.
