GUERRA ALMAGUER, Michel et al. Ocular hypertension secondary to endokeratoplasty. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2014, vol.27, n.3, pp. 490-496. ISSN 1561-3070.

Endothelial keratoplasty is not complication-free and it has so far proved to be an effective treatment for endothelial dysfunction. This is a Caucasian female patient aged 76 years, who has personal pathological history of controlled blood hypertension. She underwent Descemet stripping with Excimer laser endothelial keratoplasty. Good corneal transparency and visual recovery in her right eye were achieved after surgery. One month later, she went to the ophthalmologist´s again and complained about intense ocular pain. The eye examination yielded palpebral edema, cilioconjunctival injection, mild corneal edema, very narrow anterior chamber, iridocorneal contact in temporal periphery and high ocular pressure figures.

Keywords : endothelial keratoplasty; secondary ocular hypertension.
