Vitrectomy for Phacoanaphylactic Glaucoma Secondary to Posterior Capsular Rupture in an Adult With Persistent Hyperplastic Primary Vitreous

Abstract: This case is unusual in the age of the patient in question as PHPV usually presents in childhood, as such there are few accounts in the literature to guide optimum management of adult PHPV. We suggest that surgical management of late-presenting PHPV should be considered to improve functional outcome.

“…This category includes phacomorphic glaucoma (pupillary block glaucoma caused by an intumescent cataractous lens) and ectopia lentis (lens dislocation). The second category is characterized by the blocking of the trabecular network by lens proteins (phacolytic glaucoma), lens material or debris or by phacoanaphylactic response to the lens material [ 11 - 13 ].…”

“…Phacoanaphylactic glaucoma occurs in the setting of a ruptured lens capsule and is characterized by a granulomatous antigenic reaction to lens protein that leaks from the capsule after trauma or is retained as lens fragments after intraocular surgery [ 11 ].…”

“…After surgery, the intraocular pressure returned to normal, creating the conditions for recovery of visual function. Brennan et al [ 15 ] further noted slight improvements in vision following surgery in an adult patient with PHPV who had secondary glaucoma due to posterior capsule rupture.…”

“…Zu dieser Kategorie gehören das phakomorphe Glaukom (Pupillarblockglaukom, das durch eine intumeszierende kataraktische Linse verursacht wird) und die Ectopia lentis (Linsenverschiebung). Die zweite Kategorie ist durch die Blockierung des Trabekelnetzwerks durch Linsenproteine (phakolytisches Glaukom), Linsenmaterial oder -trümmer oder durch eine phakoanaphylaktische Reaktion auf das Linsenmaterial gekennzeichnet [11-13].…”

“…Das phakoanaphylaktische Glaukom tritt im Zusammenhang mit einer gerissenen Linsenkapsel auf und ist durch eine granulomatöse antigene Reaktion auf Linsenprotein gekennzeichnet, das nach einem Trauma aus der Kapsel austritt oder nach einer intraokularen Operation als Linsenfragmente zurückbleibt [11].…”
