Rare Diseases Symptoms Automatic Extraction

Inadvertent placement of a glaucoma tube into the graft-host interface of an eye with previous Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty.

[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.Inadvertent insertion of a glaucoma tube into the DSAEK interface may result in ocular morbidity in patients with previous DSAEK surgery.
