Urrets-Zavalia Syndrome after Penetrating Keratoplasty: A Case Report

View through CrossRef
Urrets-Zavalia syndrome is a dreaded complication of anterior segment surgery and the most common in patients undergoing corneal transplantation. Avoiding the prescription of mydriatic eye drops during the postoperative period is the mainstay of its therapy, which focuses on prevention. One month after having keratoplasty in the left eye, a 42-year-old man presented with Urrets-Zavalia syndrome and ocular hypertonia at 35 mmgh. Medical and surgical management were required in this situation. The purpose of our presentation is to describe a real-world instance of Urrets-Zavalia syndrome.
