Treatment of chronic and extreme ocular hypotension following glaucoma surgery with intraocular platelet-rich plasma: A case report.
European Journal of Ophthalmology 2018 October 8
PURPOSE: To report a new approach for the treatment of severe ocular hypotony secondary to glaucoma filtering surgery with mitomycin C by injecting autologous eye platelet-rich plasma (E-PRP) in the anterior chamber to block excessive diffuse filtration through an abnormally thinned sclera.
METHODS: A 49-year-old patient with the Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome and severe chronic hypotony and corneal edema following filtering glaucoma surgery with mitomycin C received an isolated injection of 0.3 mL of autologous platelet-rich plasma in the anterior chamber.
RESULTS: Intraocular pressure measured by Goldman's applanation tonometry 6 h after the procedure improved to 18 mmHg. Intraocular pressure remained stable along the full follow-up period of 6 month. No filtration or hypotony or any other complications were observed.
CONCLUSION: Intracameral platelet-rich plasma (E-PRP) injection was an effective, rapidly effective, and safe procedure for treatment of severe chronic ocular hypotony following glaucoma filtrating surgery.
