  • 摘要:Purpose

    To report a case of bleb dysesthesia successfully treated after Baerveldt tube implantation.

    Case summary

    A 37-year-old woman presented with a history of persistent foreign body sensation and pain in the left eye. The patient was referred to our hospital and was diagnosed as having had plateau iris syndrome. Having shown no improvement with conservative management, she eventually received trabeculectomy in the left eye six months prior to her current presentation. Under the impression of bleb dysesthesia, she received artificial tears and a bandage contact lens. These, however, failed to alleviate her symptoms. She then had a compression suture of the bleb and bleb revision. These were performed sequentially but neither was effective. Finally, a Baerveldt tube implantation was performed successfully, and, three months later, bleb revision was performed using a donor sclera, which resulted in no further complaint of ocular discomfort.

    Conclusions

    Bleb dysesthesia, although not a common postoperative complication, can occur after trabeculectomy and can be successfully treated with Baerveldt tube implantation. Patients should receive appropriate counseling and advice on bleb dysesthesia prior to undergoing trabeculectomy.
