Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
To our knowledge this is the first reported case of cyclopentolate induced bilateral acute angle-closure glaucoma associated with the Weill-Marchesani syndrome without lens subluxation. The diagnosis of Weill-Marchesani syndrome was not initially suspected, and Pilocarpine was used in an attempt to break the acute attack. Treatment with Pilocarpine-induced myosis only worsened the glaucoma by causing a severe pupillary block. This case is important because it demonstrates that mid-dilatation and cycloplegia can induce acute glaucoma in patients with the Weill-Marchesani syndrome and points out the importance for considering the diagnosis of Weill-Marchesani syndrome in any case of acute glaucoma in childhood. |
