Abstract
Aqueous misdirection glaucoma is a rare post ophthalmic surgery complication. It is mostly encountered after a glaucoma filtration surgery, and less commonly comes after cataract extraction surgery. The clinical scenario usually appears immediately after the procedure, in which the intraocular pressure increases, the anterior chamber becomes flat or shallow, and the peripheral iridotomy is appropriate and patent. Several theories have been proposed to determine the pathologic background of this condition. This case report is a supplementary evidence to the mechanism involved in which an aqueous misdirection to the posterior segment of the eye is the etiology of the disease. Keywords: Anterior Chamber, Cataract, Glaucoma, Intraocular Pressure, Pseudophakia, Vitrectomy
