Kartal Dr. Lütfi Kırdar City Hospital, Department of Ophthalmology, Istanbul, Turkey.
Purpose: This study aims to present a case involving intermittent bleeding from the iridocorneal angle following gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) surgery, followed by the development of ghost cell glaucoma (GCG).
Methods: A 25-year-old man with a history of post-traumatic angle recession glaucoma underwent uneventful 360° GATT surgery.
Results: Two weeks after the surgery, while the reason for the incomplete resolution of hyphema remained unclear, intermittent bleeding from the iridocorneal angle and hemorrhage in the inferior vitreous were observed during the patient's follow-up examination.

November 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences, Washington, D.C., USA.
Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) in reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) and medication use in treated and untreated eyes of angle recession glaucoma (ARG) patients within a year post procedure.
Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted on nine ARG patients treated with SLT at George Washington University between January 1, 2008, and January 1, 2022. Patients were excluded if they had no ARG diagnosis, did not undergo SLT, lacked follow-up within one year after SLT, or had undergone laser or glaucoma surgery in the treated or untreated eye within 12 months before SLT.

Department of Ophthalmology, Children's Hospital of Michigan, Detroit, Michigan; Wayne State University School of Medicine, Detroit, Michigan.
Article Synopsis
- - The study examined long-term outcomes of Ahmed glaucoma device capsulectomy in pediatric patients over nearly 10 years, focusing on surgical success and post-operative complications.
- - A total of 22 capsulectomies were reviewed, showing a low success rate of 23% for maintaining acceptable intraocular pressure (IOP) without further procedures, alongside some short-term complications.
- - The findings suggest that while capsulectomy may not prevent the need for additional surgery in most cases, it can provide temporary relief before other treatment options.
Background: Microcephaly with or without chorioretinopathy, lymphedema, or mental retardation is a rare autosomal dominant disease caused by mutations in KIF11 which disrupt EG5 protein function, impacting the development and maintenance of retinal and lymphatic structures due to its expression in the retinal photoreceptor cilia. The primary ocular finding in MCLMR is chorioretinopathy. Additional features can include microphthalmia, angle-closure glaucoma, persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous, cataract, pseudo-coloboma, persistent hyaloid artery, and myopic or hypermetropic astigmatism.

Department of Vitreoretinal Services, Birat Eye Hospital, Biratnagar, Nepal.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the causes and treatments of early-onset ocular hypertension (OHTN) after a specific eye surgery called pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil, focusing on how effective trabeculectomy is for these patients.
- A total of 23 patients were analyzed, with inflammation being the leading cause (47.8%), followed by issues related to silicone oil and pupillary block. Most cases responded to medications, but some required trabeculectomy for persistent high eye pressure.
- The study suggests that trabeculectomy might be beneficial for early-onset OHTN, contrasting with previous findings that it is ineffective for late-onset cases, and encourages further research to confirm these results.

Article Synopsis
- In a study of laser trabeculoplasty (LTP) in glaucoma patients, eyes with lower baseline pressure, angle recession, or uveitis had shorter durations of successful pressure control after treatment.
- A large cohort (79,332 patients) was analyzed, revealing that eyes with higher initial intraocular pressure (IOP) had longer success durations, while factors like angle recession and uveitis significantly increased the risk of treatment failure.
- Patients not using medications before LTP experienced a median of 197 days without needing additional treatment, indicating that LTP can effectively extend medication-free periods for some individuals.

VST Glaucoma Center, L V Prasad Eye Institute, Hyderabad, India.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of trabeculectomy with mitomycin-C (trab MMC) in patients with post-traumatic angle recession glaucoma, focusing on 32 phakic eyes that had no previous eye surgeries.
- - Results indicated a significant reduction in intraocular pressure (IOP) one year post-surgery, with complete success rates of 88% at one year and 77% between two to five years, along with minimal complications.
- - The findings suggest that trab MMC is a safe and effective treatment for this condition, but also highlight the need to monitor the other eye for potential glaucoma development.

Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, Miami, Florida, USA.
Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed factors influencing the effectiveness of laser trabeculoplasty (LTP) in treating glaucoma by examining data from the IRIS Registry between 2013 and 2018.
- - Out of 263,480 eyes studied, the overall response rate to LTP was 36.9%, with higher baseline intraocular pressure (IOP) linked to better response rates, while conditions like angle recession and uveitis increased nonresponse likelihood.
- - The findings suggest that lower baseline IOP and certain eye conditions may lead to poorer treatment responses, emphasizing the need for further research to improve glaucoma management strategies.
