Open angle glaucoma secondary to endogenous cortisone due to pituitary microadenoma in a young patient, a case report

Purpose To present a case with co-existence of Cogan-Reese syndrome and exfoliation syndrome. Case report A 72-year-old Caucasian woman presented for consultation due to uncontrolled intraocular pressure (IOP) of the right eye. Clinical examination revealed the presence of Cogan-Reese syndrome and exfoliation syndrome OD. This eye exhibited elevated IOP, open anterior chamber angle, advanced glaucomatous optic nerve head damage, and severe glaucomatous visual field loss. The left eye was completely normal without IOP elevation or visual field damage. To our knowledge this is the first case report demonstrating the coexistence of the Cogan-Reese syndrome, exfoliation syndrome, and secondary open-angle glaucoma. Since both syndromes frequently lead to secondary open-angle glaucoma, it is not feasible to determine with certainty which condition was the cause of secondary open-angle glaucoma in our case. It is conceivable that both conditions contributed to glaucoma development. Conclusions Cogan-Reese syndrome, exfoliation syndrome and secondary open-angle glaucoma may present on the same eye.

The Impact

This is a case report demonstrating appropriate diagnosis and management of PSS and its possible sequelae. Posner-Schlossman Syndrome is characterized by recurrent, unilateral attacks of significantly increased intraocular pressure. The etiology and pathophysiology of this condition remains unclear. Duration of this chronic condition and the risk of developing secondary open angle glaucoma are directly proportional. The patient and managing optometrist must be aware of the necessity of timely intervention during acute attacks, as well as adherent longitudinal care to preserve function and quality of life. The ensuing case report and review underscores the impact of this disease.

First Case

An 88-year-old female presented with redness in the left eye of one-month duration. On examination, the left eye showed 3 mm of proptosis with dilated and tortuous episcleral vessels and relative afferent pupillary defect. Intraocular pressure was 60 mmHg and showed open angles on gonioscopy with cup disc ratio of 0.8 in OS. A diagnosis of secondary open-angle glaucoma due to elevated episcleral venous pressure (EVP) was made. Magnetic resonance venogram revealed thrombosis of transverse and sigmoid sinus on the left side. This is the first case report of secondary open-angle glaucoma due to elevated EVP following thrombosis of transverse and sigmoid sinus.
