Removal of Extruded Ex-Press Miniature Glaucoma Device in a Case with Ahmed Glaucoma Valve: A Case Report
Journal Title: International Journal of Ophthalmology and Clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Here, we report our experience with explanation of ex - press miniature glaucoma device which extruded due to conjunctival erosion in a case with Ahmed glaucoma valve implant. After explanation of the shunt, opening-insertion site on the cornea was covered with conjunctival autograft. Although transient hypotony and limited choroidal detachtment were observed in the first two days, no complications related to failure of Ahmed glaucoma valve occurred. Because of an increasing number of patients with ex-press miniature glaucoma device, complications are observed more frequently. Surgeons might consider similar approach under such conditions.
