Özet

Pr & eacute;cis:We report a case of a 62-year-old male patient who developed a wipe-out phenomenon after uncomplicated gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy combined with cataract surgery.Abstract:A 62-year-old male patient with a diagnosis of pseudo-exfoliation and open angle glaucoma underwent uncomplicated gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) combined with phacoemulsification surgery due to advanced glaucomatous damage and high intraocular pressure. Postoperative decrease in visual acuity and central visual field deterioration suggested a wipe-out phenomenon. Although the wipe-out phenomenon has been reported after other surgeries in patients with advanced glaucoma, as far as we know, this is the first report of a wipe-out phenomenon secondary to GATT combined with phacoemulsification surgery. This complication, which can lead to severe vision loss, should be considered before the surgical decision.
