Severe Fibrin Block Angle Closure Secondary to Retinal Detachment Surgery

Fiona Lim Pin Miao, Daniel Ting Shu Wei, Bobby Cheng Ching Li and Shamira Perera

Secondary glaucoma is a well-known complication post vitreoretinal surgery that is often difficult to manage. We report an unusual case of compressive angle crowding and fibrin induced pupillary block secondary to anterior segment ischemia following combined scleral buckle and vitrectomy surgery. Surgical removal of the fibrin membrane proved effective in reducing intraocular pressure and preventing glaucomatous damage to the optic disc.
