A one-eyed 67-year-old man with 20/400 vision, dense cataract, previously failed trabeculectomy and medically uncontrolled advanced glaucoma underwent a single-site phacoemulsification with repeat trabeculectomy and mitomycin C. One-week postoperatively, vision in the right eye improved to 20/120, good bleb and intraocular pressure (IOP) of 14 mm Hg. By third postoperative week, patient presented to the emergency with diminished vision, pain and redness in right eye of 2 days duration and was diagnosed to have bleb-related endophthalmitis (BRE). Vitreous biopsy, smear from the bleb were taken and underwent pars plana vitrectomy with intraocular antibiotic injection. Smears and cultures were negative however, aqueous DNA-PCR was positive for Revisited history revealed treated pulmonary tuberculosis 3 years ago with a positive Mantoux test (17 mm) and hilar prominence on chest X-ray. One month after starting anti-tubercular therapy (ATT), the BRE resolved and vision improved to 20/60 with IOP of 14 mm Hg and the ATT was continued.

Ahmed glaucoma valve implant for refractory glaucoma in children: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Sci Prog
January 2025
School of Medicine, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu, China.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Ahmed glaucoma valve in pediatric patients with refractory glaucoma.
Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted across multiple major databases, including PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library of Systematic Reviews, Science Direct, China's National Knowledge Infrastructure, and the Wanfang database. We retrieved studies published before December 2022 that met the inclusion criteria, including clinical controlled trials (randomized controlled trials) and clinical noncontrolled trials (non-randomized controlled trials) on the use of Ahmed glaucoma valve in pediatric patients with refractory glaucoma.

Department of Ophthalmology, Rajavithi Hospital and College of Medicine, Rangsit University, Bangkok, Thailand.
Purpose: To evaluate the surgical outcomes and identify ocular and systemic prognostic factors of trabeculectomy with mitomycin C (MMC) in the eyes of patients with neovascular glaucoma (NVG) in Thailand.
Patients And Methods: This retrospective study was conducted by reviewing records of Thai patients with NVG who underwent trabeculectomy with MMC between 2013 and 2022. Criterion failure was defined as intraocular pressure (IOP) >21 mmHg or less than a 20% reduction below baseline on two consecutive study visits after 3 months, IOP ≤5 mmHg on two consecutive study visits after 3 months, reoperation for glaucoma, and loss of light perception.
