Conjunctival suture granuloma following glaucoma surgery
Conjunctival suture granuloma is a rare complication of ocular surgery, most often reported after strabismus and pterygium surgeries and with non-absorbable sutures. We report two cases of suture granuloma formation in the immediate post-operative period following glaucoma drainage device placement with Vicryl suture closure. One case improved with topical prednisolone; the other necessitated subconjunctival triamcinolone with subsequent resolution of the granuloma.
