Uveitis and pupillary block glaucoma in an aphakic dog
Strubbe TVeterinary Ophthalmology 2002; 5: 3-7
Unilateral uveitis with pupillary occlusion and secondary glaucoma was treated with neodymium:YAG laser iridotomy and iridencleisis in an aphakic two-year-old male miniature schnauzer. The dog presented four months after bilateral phacoemulsification with a complaint of blepharospasm of the left eye. Examination revealed anterior uveitis with pupillary occlusion and iris bombe. A slit-lamp mounted Q-switched Nd:YAG laser was used to create a central iridotomy to deepen the anterior chamber and an iridencleisis was performed to recreate a pupil. The eye remained visual and normotensive over a six-month follow-up period.
