A rare case of secondary glaucoma complicated by Eisenmenger syndrome

We report an interesting case in a 52-year-male patient, a known case of Eisenmenger syndrome who developed uveal effusion syndrome (UES) secondary to elevated episcleral venous pressure after undergoing trabeculectomy for open-angle glaucoma. The patient was initially managed medically and then treated surgically by performing a lamellar sclerectomy to enhance the uveoscleral outflow. This report highlights a rare case of UES in conjunction with Eisenmenger syndrome, which, to our knowledge, is the first documented instance in the literature. By sharing this case, we aim to give importance to the systemic associations in such conditions.

Abstract

We report an interesting case in a 52-year-male patient, a known case of Eisenmenger syndrome who developed uveal effusion syndrome (UES) secondary to elevated episcleral venous pressure after undergoing trabeculectomy for open-angle glaucoma. The patient was initially managed medically and then treated surgically by performing a lamellar sclerectomy to enhance the uveoscleral outflow. This report highlights a rare case of UES in conjunction with Eisenmenger syndrome, which, to our knowledge, is the first documented instance in the literature. By sharing this case, we aim to give importance to the systemic associations in such conditions.
