Résumé / Abstract

Pars plana vitrectomy is employed to treat cases of aqueous misdirection that are refractory to medical and laser treatment. The authors describe a 65-year-old man without previous aqueous misdirection in whom this condition developed after a procedure that included pars plana vitrectomy. The aqueous misdirection recurred despite multiple interventions, including medical treatment, transiently successful Nd:YAG laser capsulo-hyaloidotomy, and surgical disruption of the anterior hyaloid face. It finally resolved after repeated pars plana vitrectomy with hyaloido-capsulo-iridectomy. There has been no recurrence 7 months after this procedure. The authors conclude that the surgical treatment of aqueous misdirection refractory to more conservative measures should include adequate disruption of the anterior hyaloid to prevent recurrence.
