Abstract
Purpose: To report one case of Posner-Schlossman syndrome following after strabismus surgery.Case summary: A 21-year-old male patient with a previous history of scleral buckling due to rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in right eye, underwent left lateral rectus muscle recession and medial rectus muscle resection surgery for the intermittent exotropia. He complained of blurred vision and pain in the left eye starting from the day after the surgery. When he visited the clinic on the fourth day post-surgery, his best corrected visual acuity was 20/50 and intraocular pressure was 44 mmHg in the left eye. Slit lamp examination revealed corneal edema, 2+ anterior chamber cells, deep anterior chamber, and an open angle in the left eye. After treatment with antiglaucoma eyedrops and steroid eyedrops, the intraocular pressure decreased to 13 mmHg. There were no signs of recurrence during the two-month follow-up period.Conclusions: Posner-Schlossmann syndrome, which occurs after strabismus surgery, must be diagnosed early and treated immediately.
