Abstract:
It is known that intraocular pressure (IOP)decreases in two thirds of rheg-matogenous retinal detachment.We experienced a case of Schwartz's syndrome in a thirty-one year old male patient, who had been suffering from open angle glaucoma, anterior uveitis and retinal detachment.His vision fluctuated, improving with high IOP and decreasing with low IOP when the retina was detached.Following the retinal reattachment surgery, IOP increased and was not controlled with maximal tolerated medical therapy.Molteno tube was implanted.To our knowledge, a case of Schwartz's syndrome has not been reported in Korea.
