Abstract:
PURPOSE: To report a case of Posner-Schlossman syndrome with retinal arterial tortuosity in a young male. CASE SUMMARY: A 15-year-old male presented to our department with a halo in his left vision. Best corrected visual acuity was 0.6 and intraocular pressure was 59 mm Hg in the left eye. Slit lamp examination revealed corneal edema, keratic precipitate, deep anterior chamber, anterior chamber cell (1+) and open angle. Fundus examination revealed increased cup/disc (C/D) ratio and retinal arterial tortuosity. After treatment with anti-glaucomatic eyedrops, steroid eyedrops, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) eyedrops, intraocular pressure decreased to 15 mm Hg and C/D ratio decreased. CONCLUSIONS: Posner-Schlossman syndrome can occur even at an early age and must be included in the differential diagnosis of glaucoma in pediatric patients. Additional studies should be conducted regarding the association between retinal arterial tortuosity and Posner-Schlossman syndrome.
