Abstract Purpose:Recently, the Baerveldt glaucoma implant(BGI)has been reported as an effective therapeutic approach for refractory glaucoma. There are no reports of a BGI being placed in patients with secondary glaucoma(SG)due to varicella-zoster virus(VZV)uveitis. We report a case with SG due to VZV in which the BGI was placed following good intraocular pressure(IOP)control after the operation.

Case:A 35-year-old man consulted our clinic with a complaint of conjunctival infection and blurred vision. He was diagnosed with uveitis and was referred to our hospital. The best-corrected visual acuity in the right eye was 0.9, IOP was 42 mmHg, and cells and keratic precipitates were observed in the anterior chamber at initial examination. SG due to VZV was diagnosed by means of polymerase chain reaction of the fluid in the anterior chamber. Nevertheless, IOP reduction was observed after administering systemic valacyclovir, acyclovir eye ointment, and IOP hypotensive eye drops. Neovascular glaucoma occurred after 3 weeks, and the IOP increased to 36 mmHg. An intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)injection was performed. After the injection of anti-VEGF, the IOP reduced for a while;however, it increased again, and the high IOP, anterior inflammation, and ciliary infection continued. The BGI was performed because the conventional trabeculectomy was considered ineffective in this case. The IOP reduced progressively to approximately 15 mmHg by 1 year after the operation.

Conclusion:BGI might be effective for SG due to VZV in the short-term. Long-term studies are required to confirm this finding.
