Abstract
Case report

We present a 71-year-old patient with an Artisan® implant and macular edema associated with unsatisfactory response to repeated intravitreal corticosteroids. An intravitreal Trigon® and Avastin® combined injection was given, and acute glaucoma developed. Anterior chamber washout was performed to resolve the rise in intraocular pressure. In spite of an excellent macular response, this was only temporary, and the corneal endothelium, which had remained competent so far, suffered irreversible damage.

Discussion

The combination of both treatments, along with the particular anatomic features in these patients may have been precipitating factor in this unfortunate outcome.

Resumen
Caso clínico

Presentamos el caso de un varón de 71 años con Artisán® y edema macular asociado con insuficiente respuesta a corticoides intravítreos. Se decidió tratamiento combinado con Trigón® y Avastín® intravítreos y desarrolló un glaucoma agudo, que resolvió tras lavado urgente de cámara anterior. A pesar de la excelente respuesta macular, ésta fue únicamente transitoria y el endotelio corneal, competente hasta ese momento, sufrió daños irreversibles.

Discusión

La combinación de ambos tratamientos junto con la anatomía especial en estos pacientes pudieron ser factores precipitantes de este desafortunado resultado.
