Pars plana vitrectomy combined with irido-zonulo-hyaloidectomy for aqueous misdirection
1Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN, USA.
Introduction:
To review the indications and necessary steps for successful irido-zonulo-hyaloidectomy in persistent aqueous misdirection.
Study Design/Materials And Methods:
A 60-year-old woman was referred for persistent aqueous misdirection despite aggressive medical management. Her intraocular pressure would elevate with discontinuation of cycloplegics and her lens shifted anteriorly. She underwent standard 25g pars plana vitrectomy with irido-zonulo-hyaloidectomy.
Results:
The aqueous misdirection resolved with successful creation of the irido-zonulo-hyaloidectomy with noticeable deepening of the anterior chamber immediately. Vision improved to 20/30 and intraocular pressure was controlled without cycloplegics or ocular hypotensives.
Conclusion:
In persistent cases of aqueous misdirection unresponsive to medical management, irido-zonulo-hyaloidectomy is a useful adjunct to pars plana vitrectomy in ensuring resolution of the misdirection.
