Pseudophakic malignant glaucoma - a case report.

Romanian journal of ophthalmology·2019

Eales disease, a peripheral vascular occlusive condition, can cause vision loss. This case highlights successful management of unilateral Eales disease using focal laser treatment after steroid intolerance.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Vascular Medicine

Background:

  • Eales disease is an idiopathic peripheral vascular occlusive disease.
  • It is characterized by inflammation, ischemia, and retinal neovascularization.
  • Recurrent vitreous hemorrhages and vision loss are hallmark symptoms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a unique case of unilateral Eales disease.
  • To discuss management strategies for steroid-intolerant patients.

Main Methods:

  • A case report of a 48-year-old female with unilateral Eales disease.
  • Management involved intermittent focal laser treatment.
  • Systemic steroid treatment was inefficient and poorly tolerated.

Main Results:

  • Complete visual acuity recovery after focal laser treatment.
Keywords:

  • No recurrence of vitreous hemorrhage observed.
  • The case presented with unilateral involvement after 9 years.

    • Conclusions:

    • Focal laser treatment can be an effective alternative for Eales disease when systemic steroids are not tolerated.
    • Unilateral presentation of Eales disease can persist for extended periods.
