[aniridia]

The aim of this study was to report the inadvertent insertion of a glaucoma tube into the graft-host interface in a patient with previous Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK ).This is a retrospective case report .A 56 -year -old aniridic woman with a history of multiple failed penetrating keratoplasties (PKPs ) and glaucoma underwent DSAEK under failed PKP of her left eye at our institution . After undergoing a subsequent glaucoma tube placement by an outside glaucoma specialist , the tube was identified in the DSAEK-PKP interface . The tube was successfully repositioned at the time of repeat PKP with placement of a Boston type I keratoprosthesis .I nadvertent insertion of a glaucoma tube into the DSAEK interface may result in ocular morbidity in patients with previous DSAEK surgery .
