Abstract

Ex-PRESS mini shunt is recently involved in trabeculectomy surgery with a good outcome. We present a 14-year-old male with a history of juvenile idiopathic arthritis, non-granulomatous anterior uveitis, and secondary glaucoma operated with trabeculectomy Ex-PRESS shunt in his right eye. The patient developed extrusion of the implant head outside the conjunctiva after 4 years of surgery. The patient admitted to the hospital with removal of Ex-PRESS shunt under general anesthesia with the suturing of the scleral defect and closure of the conjunctiva.
