An interesting case of bilateral chronic angle closure glaucoma in a retinitis pigmentosa patient—A case report

ABSTRACT

We describe the case of a 50-year-old man who presented with loss of vision and elevated intraocular pressure in both eyes. Cornea of both eyes did not show signs of previous angle closure and gonioscopy revealed closed angles with peripheral anterior synechiae. Fundus examination after laser peripheral iridotomy showed waxy pale optic disc, attenuated vessels and bony spicule like pigment deposition in all quadrants of retina in both eyes. Axial length of both eyes was 21 mm. Anterior segment OCT showed peripheral anterior synechiae. Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is usually associated with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). Here we are presenting a rare case of bilateral sequential angle closure glaucoma associated with RP.
