Severe Hypotony-induced Intraocular Inflammation after Removal of Ripcord Suture from a Glaucoma Drainage Device in Uveitis Patient

PURPOSE: To report a case of exuberant anterior chamber inflammation post partial removal of supramid® stent.

METHODS: Case report.

RESULTS: The sudden intraocular pressure drop induced by partial removal of ripcord suture from a glaucoma drainage device can result in blood-retinal and blood-aqueous barrier breakdown, inducing uveitis.

CONCLUSIONS: Intensive inflammatory prophylaxis prior to maneuvers to reduce intraocular pressure may reduce the risk of severe intraocular inflammation in patients with a previous history of uveitis as a consequence of sudden hypotony.
