Resumen
FERNANDEZ-BARRIENTOS, Y; BARRIO-CASTELLANOS, M; MARTINEZ-DE-LA-CASA, JM y GARCIA-FEIJOO, J. Glaucoma secondary to silicone oil in the anterior chamber. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2005, vol.80, n.10, pp.619-621. ISSN 0365-6691.
Case report: A 53-year-old woman, with a history of a right retinal detachment treated by vitrectomy and silicone oil injection, who subsequently had the oil removed. She presented to us with a hypertensive anterior uveitis, which could not be controlled with medical treatment. On examination, micro-bubbles of emulsified silicone oil were evident in the anterior chamber simulating tyndall. A secondary glaucoma to emulsified silicone oil in the anterior chamber was diagnosed, and surgical treatment was proposed. Discussion: Although secondary glaucoma is a frequent complication after oil silicone injection in vitreo-retinopathy surgery, the presence of emulsified silicone oil in the anterior chamber simulating tyndall is uncommon.
