Abstract
This is a case report of a 67-year-old female who underwent phacoemulsification and posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) implantation and developed a rare fibrinous reaction intraoperatively. During surgery, the patient experienced poor dilation and iris tissue prolapse. Phacoemulsification and IOL insertion into the capsular bag were performed. A fibrinous reaction was noticed at the end of surgery and was managed excellently with triamcinolone. Postoperatively, the patient achieved visual acuity of 20/20, with no flare or fibrinous reaction observed on slit lamp examination. This case report highlights the possible related mechanisms of such an event, as well as clinical management and response to treatment. To reduce the risk of complications, close follow-up and prompt initiation of anti-inflammatory therapy are essential. Further studies are needed to investigate the predisposing factors for developing fibrinous reactions during cataract extraction.
