Choroidal detachment with exudative retinal detachment following Ahmed valve implantation in Sturge-Weber syndrome.

Ahmed glaucoma valve implant appears to be a relatively useful drainage device in eyes with glaucoma secondary to Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS). However, early postoperative choroidal and exudative retinal detachment may occur from a rapid expansion of the choroidal hemangioma with effusion of fluid into the suprachoroidal and subretinal spaces. We report the case of a ten-year-old boy who had SWS with choroidal haemangioma and secondary glaucoma.

Outcome of trabeculectomy with Ologen versus Mitomycin C: A comparative prospective study in Bangladesh.

Aims:: To compare the efficacy and safety of trabeculectomy with Ologen versus Mitomycin C in primary glaucoma.

Materials And Methods:: This is a prospective study of patients aged 18 years and above, diagnosed with primary glaucoma randomised to having trabeculectomy with Ologen or Mitomycin C. The primary outcome measure was success of trabeculectomy defined as intraocular pressure >5 mmHg but ≤21 mmHg.
