BACKGROUND: To report a case of aqueous misdirection after goniopuncture in deep sclerectomy treated with Nd:YAG laser irido-zonulo-hyaloidotomy. CASE PRESENTATION: About 72 years old patient with pseudoexfoliation glaucoma who underwent deep sclerectomy, developed aqueous misdirection after Nd:YAG laser goniopuncture. Medical management failed and subsequent peripheral Yag laser iridotomy to expose the zonules coupled with laser zonulo-hyaloidotomy was done and an instant gush of aqueous and vitreous substance prolapse through the iridotomy was noticed. Later, the anterior chamber was deep and the pressure was controlled. CONCLUSIONS: Aqueous misdirection can occur after Nd:YAG laser goniopuncture. Nd:YAG laser irido-zonulo-hyaloidotomy can be effective in breaking the attack.
