Aqueous humor misdirection syndrome after glaucoma filtering surgery in patient with bilateral acute iris...

Bilateral Acute Iris Transillumination (BAIT) is a disease characterised by bilateral acute, severe pigment dispersion of the iris, and pupil sphincter paralysis. The case is reported of a 51-year-old female who was diagnosed with BAIT syndrome, with refractory ocular hypertension in the left eye, and who needed filtering surgery. Aqueous misdirection was developed a week after surgery, then pars plana vitrectomy was performed and the complication was solved.

This is the first case described in literature of aqueous humor misdirection syndrome secondary to glaucoma filtering surgery in a patient diagnosed of BAIT syndrome. This is a recently defined disease with a few cases currently described.
