Surface-wrinkling maculopathy as a potential complication of trabeculectomy: a case report.

Primary tabs

Detry-Morel, M. Kittel, B Lemagne, Jean-Michel [UCL]

We report a case of "crinkled cellophane maculopathy" which developed during the first few days following an uneventful trabeculectomy in a high myopic patient with primary open-angle glaucoma. We suggest pathogenic mechanisms that may have induced such premacular lesions, emphasizing the patient's high myopia combined with a postoperative inflammatory reaction.
