Dear Editor,
I
n this case, we discuss a teenager who experienced severe
eye pain and elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) caused by
reverse pupillary block, which was successfully resolved using
Neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser
peripheral iridotomy (LPI). In general, the mechanism of IOP
elevation including 1) the iris closely contacting the anterior
surface of crystalline lens, leading to the pupillary block, 2)
trabecular pathway lesions that increase resistance to aqueous
outflow. Such acute IOP increases are commonly seen in
closed-angle glaucoma, typically affecting older women with
shorter axial lengths and shallower anterior chambers[1-2]. In the
prodromal phase, symptoms may include mild eye discomfort
and headaches, while major acute attacks can cause severe eye
pain, intense headaches, nausea, and vomiting. In this case,
the teenager male patient suffered from eye pain, along with
nausea and vomiting, all signs of a sudden rise in IOP. His
IOLMaster measurements indicated a longer eye axial length
and a deeper anterior chamber. Ultrasound biomicroscopic
(UBM) imaging showed that his iris was concave backwards
and touching both the lens and zonules.
