Anterior pupillary block

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Post-operative adhesions between the iris and cornea can cause anterior pupillary block, leading to increased intraocular pressure. Rupturing these adhesions and using a posterior chamber tape effectively controlled the pressure in two patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Complications

    Background:

    • Post-operative adhesions between the iris and cornea can lead to complications.
    • Anterior pupillary block is a potential consequence of such adhesions.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of post-operative irido-corneal adhesions were observed.
    • These adhesions were associated with elevated intraocular pressure and posterior chamber deepening.

    Findings:

    • The irido-corneal adherences were identified as the trigger for increased intraocular pressure.
    • Rupturing these adhesions led to full control of intraocular pressure.

    Implications:

    • The findings suggest anterior pupillary block as a clinical entity related to irido-corneal adhesions.
  • A simple posterior chamber tape procedure demonstrated beneficial results in managing intraocular pressure in these cases.
