摘要:Purpose We report a case of pseudophakic pupillary block after toxic anterior segment syndrome (TASS). Case summary An 84-year-old woman underwent phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation in the posterior chamber. Six days after surgery, anterior chamber inflammation was seen. Twenty-five days after surgery, a sudden increase in intraocular pressure (IOP) associated with pupillary block was observed. Despite the use of IOP-lowering medication, the IOP was not controlled. Peripheral laser iridotomy failed. After surgical peripheral iridectomy, IOP decreased significantly and was controlled. Conclusions Despite the rarity of TASS combined with pseudophakic pupillary block, clinicians must be aware of this condition in patients showing prolonged inflammatory state and IOP elevation after surgery.
