Özet
In this case study, we presented diagnosis and management of a patient diagnosed with pseudo-exfoliative glaucoma who developed blebitis at the postoperative month 2. This patient was presented to our clinic with ocular pain on month 2 after trabeculectomy with mitomycin C for pseudo-exfoliative glaucoma. In biomicroscopy, it was seen that there were dens hyperemia on the bleb and infiltration adjacent to limbus and at end of suture located at temporal aspect of bleb. Intraocular pressure was measured as 4 mmHg and Seidel test was positive. Based on these findings, patient was diagnosed with blebitis and methicillin-sensitive S. aureus growth was detected in conjunctival swab culture test. The patient with blebitis was prescribed subconjunctival and topical antibiotics. In conclusion, it is highly important to have the knowledge of the risk factors for blebitis, plan regular and optimal postoperative control visits and select an adequate therapy plan depending on the severity of the clinical symptoms.
