ConclusionConclusion Angle recession after hyphema is known to Angle recession after hyphema is known to
cause increased IOP within 10-30 days due cause increased IOP within 10-30 days due to trabecular injury and scarring.to trabecular injury and scarring.
This patient without hyphema or RD with This patient without hyphema or RD with intact posterior hyaloid had angle recession intact posterior hyaloid had angle recession and high IOP within 1 week of trauma.and high IOP within 1 week of trauma.
UBM should be performed to evaluate for UBM should be performed to evaluate for abnormal angle structure and predisposition abnormal angle structure and predisposition for angle recession. The patient’s abnormally for angle recession. The patient’s abnormally wide angle may have contributed to the wide angle may have contributed to the increased risk of angle recession.increased risk of angle recession.
