Delayed Onset Spontaneous Hyphema After an OMNI Surgical Procedure
1Department of Ophthalmology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN.
Journal of Glaucoma
|October 29, 2024
Summary
Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) can cause delayed hyphema. This case report details a patient experiencing recurrent hyphema after the OMNI procedure, highlighting a potential long-term complication.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Surgical Innovation
- Glaucoma Management
Background:
- Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) presents a safer alternative to traditional filtering surgery for glaucoma.
- Angle-based MIGS devices bypass or remove resistance in the trabecular meshwork to reduce intraocular pressure.
- While generally safe short-term, long-term complications of MIGS require further investigation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report a rare case of delayed-onset spontaneous hyphema following an OMNI surgical system procedure.
- To increase awareness of potential long-term complications associated with MIGS.
- To contribute to the understanding of OMNI procedure-related adverse events.
Main Methods:
- Case report detailing a patient's clinical course.
- Review of patient history and surgical procedure.
- Documentation of recurrent and refractory delayed onset spontaneous hyphema.
Main Results:
- The patient experienced recurrent and refractory delayed onset spontaneous hyphema after undergoing the OMNI procedure.
- This represents the first documented case of this specific complication linked to the OMNI surgical system.
- The hyphema occurred spontaneously and was delayed in onset, posing management challenges.
Conclusions:
- Delayed onset spontaneous hyphema is a potential, albeit rare, complication of the OMNI procedure.
- Ophthalmologists should be vigilant for long-term complications of MIGS, including hyphema.
- Further research is needed to elucidate the mechanisms and incidence of this complication.

01:21Tracheostomy Decannulation
122
Tracheostomy decannulation is a significant milestone in the liberation of mechanically ventilated patients. Despite its importance, there is no universally accepted protocol for this procedure. This demands an evidence-based, individualized approach.
Description of the Procedure
Decannulation refers to the permanent removal of the tracheostomy tube, signaling the resolution of the condition that initially necessitated the tracheostomy. The process requires a well-coordinated interplay between...

01:30Epistaxis
136
Epistaxis, or nosebleeds, occurs when small, swollen blood vessels in the nasal mucous membrane rupture. Typically, the anterior septum is the primary site of occurrence.
Etiology
Possible causes of this condition include high blood pressure, trauma, low humidity, upper respiratory tract infections, allergies, foreign bodies, nasal inhalation of corticosteroids or illicit drugs, excessive use of decongestant nasal sprays, facial or nasal surgery, anatomic malformation, tumors, or systemic...

01:29Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway
294
Nasopharyngeal suctioning is a procedure to remove secretions from the upper part of the respiratory tract that the patient cannot clear independently. It helps maintain airway patency and prevents complications such as aspiration pneumonia.

53
Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...

01:28Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment
441
Angle-closure glaucoma, or closed-angle glaucoma, is an eye condition where the iris bulges out and blocks the iridocorneal angle, resulting in a buildup of aqueous humor and increased intraocular pressure. Immediate medical attention is necessary due to the sudden onset of symptoms. The treatment for angle-closure glaucoma includes short-term and long-term approaches. Short-term treatment involves using eye drops like pilocarpine to lower intraocular pressure by increasing aqueous humor...
