Article Synopsis
- - The study examined long-term outcomes of Ahmed glaucoma device capsulectomy in pediatric patients over nearly 10 years, focusing on surgical success and post-operative complications.
- - A total of 22 capsulectomies were reviewed, showing a low success rate of 23% for maintaining acceptable intraocular pressure (IOP) without further procedures, alongside some short-term complications.
- - The findings suggest that while capsulectomy may not prevent the need for additional surgery in most cases, it can provide temporary relief before other treatment options.
Here, we discuss the case of a 72-year-old male with a known history of COPD who presented with one month of binocular diplopia and headache. The initial clinical investigation discovered destructive intraosseous lesions within the sellar and para-sellar (SPS) regions, suggesting primary versus metastatic intracranial lesions. Further examination revealed a mass in the right lung, with subsequent biopsy confirming squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the lung as the primary site of malignancy.
