Abstract
ARRIOLA-VILLALOBOS, P.; IGLESIAS-LODARES, I.; DIAZ-VALLE, D. and GARCIA-GIL-DE-BERNABE, J.. Pupillary block acute glaucoma due to acrylic intraocular lens posterior dislocation AFTER Nd:YAG capsulotomy. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2011, vol.86, n.9, pp.300-302. ISSN 0365-6691.
Case report: We present the clinical case of a 68 year-old woman who developed a pupillary block acute glaucoma due to vitreous hernia into anterior chamber following posterior dislocation of the intraocular lens one month after an Nd:YAG capsulotomy. Discussion: We should consider these symptoms in the differential diagnosis of pseudophakic acute glaucoma, especially when visualisation of the anterior chamber is difficult due to corneal oedema and Nd:YAG capsulotomy was done.
Keywords : Acute glaucoma; pupillary block; intraocular lens dislocation; Nd:YAG capsulotomy.
