Resumen

GONZALEZ BLANCO, Yanileidy et al. Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome associated with glaucoma. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2022, vol.35, n.1  Epub 29-Ago-2022. ISSN 1561-3070.

Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome is a congenital disease that can be associated with glaucoma in 50 % of cases. For this reason, a clinical case with Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome and bilateral glaucoma is described. This is an 18-year-old male patient with blue sclera, microcornea, posterior embryotoxon, partial aniridia, sectorial atrophy of the iris, and systemic alterations associated with glaucoma, who decided to perform trabeculo-trabeculectomy in both eyes. One month after surgery, an increase in intraocular pressures in the left eye was observed and a trabeculo-trabeculectomy was performed with mitomycin C, subsequently it was necessary to implant Ahmed's valve with mitomycin C in said eye and implant a molteno device in the right eye, the which required revision with a needle and administration of mitomycin C to maintain intraocular pressures within normal limits with associated medical treatment in the left eye.
