Article Abstract
Purpose: To report a case of exuberant anterior chamber inflammation post partial removal of supramid® stent.
Methods: Case report.
Results: The sudden intraocular pressure drop induced by partial removal of ripcord suture from a glaucoma drainage device can result in blood-retinal and blood-aqueous barrier breakdown, inducing uveitis.
Conclusions: Intensive inflammatory prophylaxis prior to maneuvers to reduce intraocular pressure may reduce the risk of severe intraocular inflammation in patients with a previous history of uveitis as a consequence of sudden hypotony.
