Abstract
Objective To investigate the best operation for secondary glaucoma in Weill-Marchesani syndrome. Methods One patient of bilateral Weill-Marchesani syndrome with secondary glaucoma in our hospital was retrospectively analysed. The right eye received extraction of lens combined with trabeculectomy and second-stage operation of anterior vitrectomy combined with intraocular lens suspension. The left eye received lensectomy and anterior-vitrectomy combined with intraocular lens suspension. The intraocular pressure was measured at different times within two years. Results After extraction of lens combined with trabeculectomy, the intraocular lens could not be implanted into the right eye, and low intraocular pressure occurred after second-stage operation of anterior-vitrectomy combined with intraocular lens suspension. In the left eye normal intraocular pressure was gained after lensectomy and anterior vitrectomy combined with intraocular lens suspension surgery. Conclusion Lensectomy and anterior vitrectomy combined with intraocular lens suspension surgery may be effective for secondary glaucoma in Weill-Marchesani syndrome.
