Abstract
Phacoantigenic glaucoma (previously known as phacoanaphylactic glaucoma) is a rare condition in which a patient presents a sensitization to their own ocular lens proteins after surgery or trauma that produces an inflammatory response. The clinical picture is variable, but the majority of patients present a moderate reaction in the anterior chamber. It is recommended the initiation of topical corticosteroids and aqueous suppressors with the goal of reducing the inflammatory response and the intraocular pressure. Surgical removal of the residual material may be necessary once the inflammation is under control as presented in the following case. The description of a clinical case and a review of the topic are carried out considering the little literature available on this pathology, due to reasons such as infrequency and scarce publication of this type of medical case. This report describes a clinical case and reviews the limited literature on this pathology, aiming to provide a summary of available information and improve early intervention and prognosis.
