Abstract
Conjunctival granuloma (CG) can be caused by a foreign body, surgically related inflammation, an allergen, an infectious organism, or as part of a systemic disease. We are reporting the first case of CG related to 5-0 prolene as supramid, which is used as an intraluminal stent in AADI to prevent hypotony. A 70-year-old female diagnosed with POAG in both eyes with posterior PCIOL on MMT with advanced disc damage and uncontrolled IOP in the right eye underwent AADI with supramid. The patient developed mild irritation and redness in RE in the fourth month of follow-up. On slit-lamp examination, there was localized CG at the end of the supramid tip. CG resolved with the removal of the supramid suture and medical treatment. Supramid-related CG is rare and generally causes non-fatal material-related hypersensitivity reactions that can be treated well with medications and removal of inciting factors.
