A 67-year-old patient with a history of open-angle glaucoma developed acute closed-angle glaucoma after a leg fracture. This case highlights diagnostic challenges and the importance of patient history in managing angle-closure glaucoma.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Glaucoma Management

Background:

  • A 67-year-old female with a 19-year history of open-angle glaucoma.
  • Presented with acute ocular symptoms including pain, congestion, and vision loss in the left eye following orthopedic treatment for a leg fracture.

Observation:

  • Ophthalmological examination revealed severe vision impairment (1/500) in the left eye, synechiae, and normal intraocular pressure (10 mmHg) bilaterally.
  • Initial diagnosis of uveitis in the left eye was made, with temporary visual improvement following mydriatic instillation.

Findings:

  • The patient was subsequently diagnosed with acute-phase closed-angle glaucoma in both eyes.
  • Basal iridectomy was performed as treatment for the angle-closure glaucoma.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the critical role of thorough patient history (anamnesis) in diagnosing complex glaucoma cases.
  • It highlights potential diagnostic difficulties and the importance of considering angle-closure glaucoma even in patients with a prior open-angle glaucoma diagnosis.
