Conclusions: Significant synechial angle closure is present in APAC eyes at presentation. This suggests that PAS formation may be an important underlying mechanism in the pathogenesis of APAC. [iovs.arvojournals.org]

Glaucoma is frequently present. Importantly, there is a wide range in the presentation of clinical features. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

• Premature Loss of Teeth

  Systemic Features: Oligodontia, microdontia, and premature loss of teeth are common in type 2. Maxillary hypoplasia is less common as is hearing loss. Umbilical anomalies were not present in any affected individuals. Cardiac defects are rare. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

• Pendular Nystagmus

  Pendular nystagmus and esotropia are common. MRI studies reveal optic nerves and the chiasm that are either absent or abnormally small. Systemic Features: This condition is nonsyndromic and has no systemic abnormalities. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

Case 1 A 32-year-old Caucasian woman with unilateral, recurrent granulomatous uveitis of the left eye with a negative workup developed CME that responded to repeated periocular injections of triamcinolone acetonide (Figure 2). [eyeworld.org]

Disease Classification, Workup and Diagnosis When diagnosing anterior uveitis, you must consider a variety of presenting signs and associated features. [reviewofoptometry.com]

Correlation analysis was used to evaluate relationships between the highest IOP level without treatment and the extent of PAS. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Medical Care No specific medical management exists pertaining to the treatment of peripheral anterior synechiae (PAS). In general, the treatment of the underlying etiology prevents the formation of peripheral anterior synechiae. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Treatment Treatment Options: The high risk of glaucoma demands lifelong monitoring of intraocular pressure. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

Treatment In many cases, no treatment is necessary. If an underlying cause is diagnosed, it should be treated appropriately. In cases where glaucoma is present, laser surgery to repair the synechiae may be attempted. [snapcats.org]

If the pupil can be fully dilated during the treatment of iritis, the prognosis for recovery from synechia is good. This is a treatable status. To subdue the inflammation, use topical corticosteroids. [en.wikipedia.org]

Prognosis. The prognosis in cyclitis is always grave, especially so in the plastic form. [operatingmicroscopes.com]

If the pupil can be fully dilated during 4. the treatment of iritis, the prognosis for recovery from synechiae is good. Inflammation from synechiae or synechia may be treated with topical corticosteroids. [slideshare.net]

Corneal opacities can be treated with transplantation but the prognosis is often guarded when glaucoma is present. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

Frequently, a specific ocular history—in conjunction with a careful slit lamp examination—can lead to the correct etiology of the uveitis without any further testing or laboratory studies. ( See “Derivation of Uveitis Etiology from Ocular History,” page [reviewofoptometry.com]

Etiology and Pathophysiology Synechiae are most commonly formed during states of inflammation and cellular proliferation. [eyewiki.aao.org]

The authors sought to assess the validity of this epidemiological classification by exploring the relation between drainage angle width, peripheral anterior synechiae (PAS) and glaucomatous optic neuropathy (GON). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

If this is done the keratoplasty can be performed later without causing further trauma to the iris, thus preventing such additional complications as hemorrhages and traumatic inflammation of the iris during the postoperative recovery period. [jamanetwork.com]

In general, the treatment of the underlying etiology prevents the formation of peripheral anterior synechiae. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Conditions Caused By Synechiae Both types of synechia may prevent the aqueous fluid from flowing freely through the anterior and posterior chambers of the eye. [synechiae.com]

Mydriatic/cycloplegic agents can be prescribed and are useful in breaking and preventing the formation of posterior synechiae. Prescribing protective sunglasses will help the patients with photophobia. [slideshare.net]
