Urrets-Zavalia Syndrome After Penetrating Keratoplasty
Özet
Urrets-Zavalia syndrome (UZS) was first described in 1963 as a
case of atrophic dilated pupil accompanied by secondary glau
coma, which developed after penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) using
mydriatics in patients with keratoconus. Urrets-Zavalia syndrome is
a surgical complication in which the pupil remains fixed and dilated
after an intraocular surgical intervention. Although it is thought to
be especially related to penetrating keratoplasty, it can also be
seen after other intraocular surgical procedures (Trabeculectomy,
deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty, cataract, goniotomy). The
most important risk factor is iris ischemia due to increased intra
ocular pressure during or after surgery. The study aimed to present
the management of Urrets-Zavalia Syndrome, which developed af
ter penetrating keratoplasty in two patients with left eye corneal
granular dystrophy and left eye keratoconus.
