GIL HERNANDEZ, M.ªA; ABREU REYES, P  and  MARTIN, V. Isquemic anterior syndrome and intraocular calcification. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2003, vol.78, n.6, pp.319-322. ISSN 0365-6691.

Objective/Methods: We report the case of a sixty-year-old female that following retinal detachment surgery in her left eye, presented with a clinical picture that initially was misdiagnosed as endophthalmitis. Results/Conclusions: The patient suffered an anterior ischemic syndrome secondary to the retinal surgery, and accidentally, the presence of an intraocular calcification was discovered. We study the influence of the osteoblastic neoformation in the ischemic process.

Keywords : Ocular calcification; anterior segment ischemia.
