We report a case of a 26-year-old woman with a previous history of complicated ulcerative colitis, as well as multiple episodes of recurrent anterior uveitis in control with adalimumab and methotrexate, who develops ocular hypertension refractory to topical treatment. The implant of an EXPRESS is proposed, but in the immediate post-operative period, the implant causes atalamia and does not achieve the correct control of intraocular pressure. A XEN stent was implanted.

Three clinical cases are presented of compressive optic neuropathy secondary to meningiomas of different locations, initially diagnosed with normal tension glaucoma (NTG). All patients were middle-aged women, with optic disc excavation, as well as asymmetric, rapidly progressive defects in the visual field (VF), and deterioration of the visual acuity (VA), despite presenting with intraocular pressure (IOP) correctly controlled with topical hypotensive therapy. Due to the atypical progression of the glaucoma disease, and suspecting a compressive lesion of the optic nerve, neuroimaging tests were performed, with which the correct diagnosis was reached.

A 66 year-old patient, monitored for diabetic retinopathy refractory to multiple treatment methods despite a good metabolic control, referred to progressive weight loss. For this reason, a systemic study was performed, detecting anaemia, elevation of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and hyperproteinaemia due to elevated serum levels of monoclonal IgM. Subsequently, by performing a bone marrow biopsy and genetic study, the diagnosis of Waldenström macroglobulinaemia was made.
