Radius‐Maumenee syndrome: A case series with a long‐term follow‐up

Abstract

The aim of the case series is to highlight the surgical challenges experienced like failed intervention, choroidal effusion, a postoperative cystoid macular oedema, and describe treatment options for Radius‐Maumenee syndrome. Authors reported on 3 bilateral cases of Radius‐Maumenee syndrome which underwent medical treatment, trabeculectomy with Mitomycin C, implantation with XEN45, Ahmed glaucoma valve, Baerveldt glaucoma implant, and cyclophotocoagulation.

A rare case of Radius Maumenee syndrome with unilateral open angle glaucoma

“…Several studies reported choroidal effusion without hypotony is frequent in these patients after filtration surgery. 9,10 To combat this, we gave systemic steroid in our case. Choroidal effusion was not seen in this patient intraoperatively or on follow up visits.…”

“…9 Surgical management is challenging with options like prophylactic deep sclerectomy, viscocanalostomy, trabeculectomy, and shunt surgery. 9,10 In this case, trabeculectomy with MMC was done considering advanced glaucoma and high IOP. Failure rate is more here due to intra-operative bleed during conjunctiva handling, scleral incision, or bleed from exposed ends of schlemm's canal.…”
