Abstract Introduction:The number of cases of uveitis-glaucoma-hyphema(UGH)syndrome after surgery is on a decrease due to improvement in intraocular lenses(IOL). We report a case of UGH syndrome caused by rotation of the IOL fixed in the sulcus during the postoperative course of cataract.

Case:The patient was a 68-year-old man who underwent an operation of the right cataract with IOL implanted in the extracapsular in 2009. The patient presented with occasional blurred vision in the right eye since 2011. In 2012(third year after surgery), he visited his previous doctor for the recurrent blurred vision, and was referred to Yokohama City University Hospital for anterior segment inflammation and ocular hypertension of 76 mmHg in the right eye. Inflammatory cells and fine posterior corneal deposits were found in the anterior chamber, peripheral anterior synechia(PAS)and hyphema were found in the corner angle, and vitreoushemorrhage was found in the fundus. Ophthalmologic and physical examination revealed no obvious cause of uveitis, and treatment for uveitis and secondary glaucoma was started. Trabeculectomy was performed for ocular hypertension, and rotation of the intraocular lens was observed during the course of treatment, leading to the diagnosis of UGH syndrome. The patient underwent re-operation for the IOL removal and extracapsular fixation of another lens. The patient has not presented with any furtherexacerbation such as bleeding or inflammation for the past five years.

Conclusion:In the case of unexplained uveitis, hyphema, and ocular hypertention in postoperative cataract patients, as in this case, UGH syndrome should be mentioned as a differential diagnosis, and the presence of rotational deviation of the intraocular lens should also be noted.
