Seventy‐one cases of uveitis‐glaucoma‐hyphaema syndrome
Acta Ophthalmologica Jun 11, 2020
Armonaite L, et al. - In the present study, the researchers sought to evaluate Uveitis‐Glaucoma‐Hyphaema syndrome (UGH syndrome) with focus on resolution, glaucoma development and risk factors. This retrospective case–control study with a cross‐sectional component was conducted to contrast three groups with 71 individuals each: UGH syndrome, dislocated intraocular lens (IOL) without UGH syndrome and ordinary pseudophakia. The outcomes are better with surgical intervention compared with conservative treatment in UGH syndrome, but surgery does not guarantee resolution. Pseudophacodonesis is a risk factor for UGH syndrome, but blood thinners are not present, and the iris defects are not specific to UGH syndrome. At first haemorrhage, a high intraocular pressure (IOP) raises the risk of requiring subsequent IOP‐lowering therapy.
