Case Report: Role of Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography in Late-onset Capsular Block Syndrome

Abstract: SIGNIFICANCE:We report the use of anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) as a valuable tool for capsular block syndrome diagnosis and follow-up. PURPOSE:The purposes of this study are to report a case of late-onset capsular block syndrome or lacteocrumenasia and to describe differential diagnosis with other more common phacoemulsification complications such as intraocular lens (IOL) or posterior capsule opacification. CASE REPORT:We report the case of a 56-year-old man with a clinical history o… Show more

“…AS-OCT is a valuable tool for evaluating anatomical structures and qualitative factors in the cornea, anterior chamber, and even the optic media. The usefulness of AS-OCT in differentiating between IOL opacity and late-onset CBS has been highlighted [ 15 ]. We assessed the IOL depth before and after Nd-YAG laser treatment and observed a slight deepening of the IOL position, although the shift was less than 0.05 mm.…”

“…AS-OCT, as a noninvasive diagnostic technique, offers high resolution, low variability, and ease of use [ 5 ]. In cases of suspected CBS, AS-OCT can precisely assess the location and characteristics of the IOL and determine the depth of opacity, which is a crucial factor in distinguishing IOL opacity or posterior capsule opacity from CBS [ 11 ]. AS-OCT findings for CBS typically reveal a fibrotic anterior capsulotomy margin, the presence of a hyperreflective substance behind the IOL within an enlarged capsular bag with an intact posterior capsule, and a clear IOL [ 11 ].…”

Accurate diagnosis of CBS and differentiation from IOL opacity or posterior capsule opacity are crucial for proper management, avoiding unnecessary invasive procedures [ 11 ].…”

“…AS-OCT is helpful in confirming the diagnosis. 9,10,11 We used AS-OCT and slit-lamp examination for diagnosis and to evaluate the amount of retrolental milky fluid and its complete resolution after treatment and to monitor the clinical course during the entire follow-up. Treatment with Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy allowing the rapid evacuation of liquid toward the vitreous chamber was sufficient to provide a complete, quick and lasting resolution of the CBS.…”
