The Untoward Effect of Neglected Cataracts: Phacolytic Glaucoma

That rubeola exerts a deleterious effect on unhealed tuberculosis is generally accepted. In this report, intercurrent measles appeared to cause no untoward effect in five patients with tuberculous meningitis, already receiving therapy consisting of isoniazid, streptomycin and para-aminosalicylic acid.

Phacolytic Glaucoma

Purpose: To report a case of phacolytic glaucoma with rupture of anterior lens capsule in a case of hypermature cataract. Methods: Case report and literature review. Results: An 80-year-old woman presented with cloudiness and pain in the left eye for 1 day. The patient had visual acuity limited to perception of light with raised intraocular pressure of 70 mm Hg. Careful slit-lamp evaluation revealed corneal epithelial edema in superior quadrant and a deep and turbid anterior chamber. Ultrasound biomicroscopy confirmed the presence of a deep anterior chamber, a hypermature cataractous nucleus with lax capsular bag, and ruptured anterior lens capsule. The patient underwent extracapsular cataract extraction. Cytological examination of the lenticular fluid revealed the presence of lens protein-laden macrophages. Post-operatively, the patient had best-corrected visual acuity of 6/60 with advanced glaucomatous optic neuropathy. Conclusion: Phacolytic glaucoma can present with a cloudy cornea and a turbid anterior chamber mimicking endophthalmitis. Careful examination and ancillary investigations including ultrasound biomicroscopy was helpful in making an accurate diagnosis.
