Abstract

JUBERIAS, J.R.; MAQUET, J.A.  and  USSA, F.. Decompression retinopathy with maculopathy after trabeculectomy with mitomycin C. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2008, vol.83, n.6, pp.373-375. ISSN 0365-6691.

Case report: We present a case of decompression retinopathy with retinal haemorrhages, optic nerve haemorrhages, maculopathy, and decreased visual acuity after trabeculectomy with mitomycin-C. Discussion: Decompression retinopathy is a potential complication after glaucoma surgery but has been rarely reported in the world literature. Although these four characteristics have been described separately, in this patient all four occurred together.

Keywords : Glaucoma; decompression retinopathy; haemorrhages; maculopathy; trabeculectomy.
