摘要
This paper reports an occurrence of angle closure glaucoma following a combined blepharoplasty and ectropion repair. We are unaware of any previous reports of such an incident. Specific to this case was the coexistence of a cataract that contributed to the narrowing of the anterior chamber. This condition, along with pupil dilation secondary to the anesthetic, precipitated a phacomorphic angle closure glaucoma attack, necessitating emergency cataract surgery. Because other procedures involve pupillary dilation as a potential side effect, we recommend an increased awareness of this potential postoperative complication.
