Rare Presentations of Acute Angle Closure: A Case Series.

AIM: To report a unique presentation of an acute attack of angle closure glaucoma.

METHODS

This report describes two cases of acute angle closure (AAC) presenting with ciliary body shutdown.

RESULTS

Case 1-A middle-aged male reported with pain, watering, congestion, and decreased vision in the right eye (RE) since 6 days. He had clinical signs of hypotony in the RE with an intraocular pressure (IOP) of 5 mm Hg and poor ocular tone digitally. A diagnosis of acute attack of angle closure glaucoma was made, and he underwent YAG laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) in both eyes. Case 2-Reported a patient with high hypermetropia who presented with acute angle crisis following a dilated evaluation and presented with low pressures.

CONCLUSION

Angle closure should be strongly suspected in patients with pain and sudden vision blurring, even if the initial IOP is low.
