An 84-year-old male with uncontrolled intraocular pressure (IOP), despite maximum topical medications including prostaglandin F2α analog, had bilateral prostaglandin-associated periorbitopathy-related tight upper eyelids. One day after trabeculectomy of the left eyelid, IOP was 24 mm Hg, with a flat bleb. Daily ocular massage failed to maintain bleb filtration.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated the incidence of the prostaglandin-associated periorbital syndrome (PAPS) in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension after using topical prostaglandin analogues (PGAs) for 3-6 months.
  • Among the 55 patients studied, key indicators such as interpupillary distance and exophthalmos were measured, alongside subjective assessments of periocular changes, showing significant changes primarily at the 1 and 3-month marks.
  • Results indicated that bimatoprost resulted in the highest incidence of PAPS, with noticeable periorbital changes like eyelash growth and hyperpigmentation increasing over time.

: This study aims to evaluate the computed tomography (CT) scans of glaucoma patients using prostaglandin analogs (PGA) in one eye, investigate findings associated with prostaglandin-associated periorbitopathy (PAP), and compare these findings with those of the contralateral eyes. : Patients with open-angle glaucoma who had CT images of the orbital region taken for another reason at least one month after starting PGA treatment in one eye were included in the study. Enophthalmos measurements from thin-slice CT images, along with 3D volume measurements of orbital fat tissue, periorbital muscles, and the optic nerve, were performed.

Purpose: Topical prostaglandin analogues are commonly used to treat patients with glaucoma, but may cause periocular and periorbital complications known as prostaglandin-associated periorbitopathy syndrome (PAPS).

Methods: A literature review was conducted on PAPS. Given the lack of consensus on grading PAPS, glaucoma specialists from Asia convened to evaluate current PAPS grading systems and propose additional considerations in grading PAPS.
