    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Increased intraocular pressure can occur during graft rejection reactions. Some patients may require glaucoma medication or surgery, especially those with prior eye inflammation.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Graft rejection reactions can manifest with various ocular complications.
    • Intraocular pressure (IOP) monitoring is crucial post-transplantation.

    Observation:

    • Four patients experienced elevated IOP during ocular graft rejection.
    • Patient demographics included three women and one man, aged 30-63.

    Findings:

    • Elevated IOP resolved in one patient post-immunosuppression.
    • One patient needed short-term antiglaucoma medication.
    • Two patients with pre-existing ocular inflammation developed severe glaucoma requiring long-term treatment.
    • One corticosteroid-responder ultimately needed filtering surgery.

    Implications:

    • Ocular graft rejection poses a risk for developing glaucoma.
    • Pre-existing ocular conditions may predispose patients to severe glaucoma post-transplant.
    • Long-term IOP management is essential in select graft rejection cases.
