چکیده
CASE REPORTS We report two cases of delayed spontaneous hypotony associated with choroidal detachment and hypotony maculopathy. Both patients had undergone uneventful cataract extractions 10 and 6 years prior to the occurrence of apparently spontaneous hypotony. Trabeculectomy was combined with phacoemulsification in one of them. Both had been receiving timolol at the time of presentation. DISCUSSION Delayed spontaneous hypotony, without recent ocular surgery or trauma, represented a challenge in both the diagnosis and management processes in these patients. We have analysed the main causes.

The presence of choroidal detachment in an eye is a familiar finding most commonly seen after intraocular operation, when it occurs with a shallow or absent anterior chamber and ocular hypotony. Fuchs (I900) quoted an incidence of only 4-7 per cent. after cataract extraction, but a more accurate figure is the 59 per cent. given by Venco and Giardini (I947) relating to the immediate postoperativ...

متن کاملIs post-trabeculectomy hypotony a risk factor for subsequent failure? A case control study
BACKGROUND Ocular hypotony results in an increased break down of the blood-aqueous barrier and an increase in inflammatory mediator release. We postulate that this release may lead to an increased risk of trabeculectomy failure through increased bleb scarring. This study was designed to try to address the question if hypotony within one month of trabeculectomy for Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (P...
