Zusammenfassung
Wir berichten über einen 43-jährigen Patienten mit einem Sekundärglaukom, welcher
nach Einsetzen eines Molteno-Implantats und späterer perforierender Keratoplastik
eine Epithelzellinvasion in die Vorderkammer aufwies. Es wird diskutiert, ob die Ursache
dieser Epithelzellinvasion im Molteno-Implantat selbst oder in der nachfolgend aufgrund
einer Hornhautdekompensation notwendigen Hornhauttransplantation zu sehen ist.
Abstract
We present a 43-year old patient with refractory secondary glaucoma, who showed epithelial
downgrowth into the anterior chamber following Molteno implant surgery. It will be
discussed, whether the Molteno implant or the following keratoplasty, which was necessary
because of corneal decompensation, caused the epithelial downgrowth.
