要約 目的:無硝子体眼の血管新生緑内障(NVG)に対してアーメド緑内障バルブを用いたチューブインプラント手術(AGV)後,左眼にチューブ先端への硝子体嵌頓による眼圧上昇をきたし再手術を要したため,右眼の手術時にチューブの先端位置を工夫した1例を経験したので報告する。
症例:60歳,女性。無治療の両眼増殖糖尿病網膜症に対し硝子体手術を施行後,両眼のNVGを発症し,保存的加療をしていたが,両眼とも眼圧コントロール不良となったため,AGVを施行した。チューブ先端は硝子体腔内に留置した。しかし,左眼は術後眼圧が低下せず,チューブの先端へ硝子体嵌頓が疑われたため,術後21日目に硝子体手術を施行した。再手術時にチューブ先端への硝子体嵌頓を確認し,チューブ先端周囲の硝子体を切除した。その後は眼圧が低下し,経過良好である。右眼のAGVの際は残存硝子体によるチューブ先端への嵌頓を考慮し,硝子体中央寄りにチューブ先端を留置した。右眼は術後経過良好である。
結論:硝子体術後眼に対し,AGVを施行する際は,残存硝子体を考慮に入れるべきである。
Abstract Purpose:We report a case of neovascular glaucoma in vitrectomized eyes treated with Ahmed glaucoma valve(AGV) implantation. The left eye developed elevated intraocular pressure(IOP) due to vitreous entrapment at the tube tip, necessitating reoperation. Therefore, the tube tip position was modified during AGV implantation in the right eye to prevent recurrence.
Case:The patient was a 60-year-old woman with untreated bilateral proliferative diabetic retinopathy. She underwent vitrectomy and subsequently developed neovascular glaucoma in both eyes. The condition was initially managed conservatively. However, AGV implantation with tube insertion into the vitreous cavity was performed for both eyes due to inadequate IOP control. The IOP of the left eye remained elevated after surgery, and vitreous entrapment at the tube tip was suspected. Therefore, she underwent a second vitrectomy on postoperative day 21. Vitreous incarceration around the tube tip was confirmed and removed intraoperatively, and her IOP was subsequently controlled. The tube tip was directed toward the central vitreous cavity during AGV implantation for the right eye to prevent tube occlusion by the residual vitreous. The right eye has had a favorable postoperative course.
Conclusion:The presence of residual vitreous should be carefully considered when performing AGV implantation in eyes that have undergone vitrectomy.
