Reversible Cystoid Macular Edema Following Uneventful Microinvasive Kahook Dual Blade Goniotomy in a Pseudophakic Patient: A Case Report.
Summary
This case report describes the first case of CME following uneventful stand-alone KDB goniotomy and highlights the importance of postoperative topical NSAID therapy with regard to both prophylaxis and treatment.
Abstract
PURPOSE
The purpose of this study is to present a case of cystoid macular edema (CME) as a potential complication following uncomplicated stand-alone Kahook Dual Blade (KDB) goniotomy in a patient with pseudoexfoliative glaucoma.
METHODS
A 71-year-old woman who developed CME following KDB goniotomy subsequently treated with topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) therapy.
RESULTS
The CME successfully regressed following a standard course of topical NSAID therapy.
CONCLUSIONS
This case report describes the first case of CME following uneventful stand-alone KDB goniotomy and highlights the importance of postoperative topical NSAID therapy with regard to both prophylaxis and treatment.
