25G PARS PLANA VITRECTOMY AND IRIDO-ZONULO-HYALOIDO-VITRECTOMY IN THE MANAGEMENT OF MALIGNANT GLAUCOMA IN PHAKIC EYES FOLLOWING TRABECULECTOMY.

PURPOSE: To describe a new surgical technique in the management of malignant glaucoma in phakic eyes.

METHODS: We performed 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy with anterior irido-zonulo-hyaloido-vitrectomy in 2 young phakic patients with malignant glaucoma after trabeculectomy. This technique allowed posteroanterior aqueous communication, relieved aqueous misdirection, helped restoring anterior chamber depth, normalized the intraocular pressure and most importantly helped to preserve the crystalline lens.

RESULTS: At 8 months follow-up, both patients have stable visual acuity, normal intraocular pressure, well-functioning blebs, and clear crystalline lens.

CONCLUSION: One can consider 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy with anterior irido-zonulo-hyaloido-vitrectomy as a safe and effective treatment option for the management of malignant glaucoma in phakic eyes.
