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]

• Asymptomatic

  ■ Peripheral anterior synechiae are usually asymptomatic unless large areas of at least 270° are involved. ■ Central iridocorneal synechiae are frequently associated with rubeotic iris vessels. [link.springer.com]

  Moreover, asymptomatic synechial closure of the angle may result in chronic ACG, especially in Asian people.1-3 The classifications of ACG are various and arbitrary. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Symptoms  Peripheral anterior synechiae are usually asymptomatic unless large areas of at least 270° are involved.  Peripheral anterior synechiae can present in the following manners:  Acute angle closure with the classic constellation of symptoms, [slideshare.net]

  Surprisingly, endothelial function often is maintained and patients may remain asymptomatic for many years. Some patients have features of anterior chamber dysgenesis with iris anomalies, anterior synechiae, and glaucoma. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

• Weakness

  There was a weak but significant correlation between the angle opening distance (AOD), trabecular iris space area (TISA) and angle recess area (ARA) with clock hours of PAS (Spearman's correlation coefficients = -0.30, -0.32 and -0.32, respectively, p [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  There was a weak but significant correlation between the angle opening distance (AOD), trabecular iris space area (TISA) and angle recess area (ARA) with clock hours of PAS (Spearman’s correlation coefficients = −0.30, −0.32 and −0.32, respectively, p [bjo.bmj.com]

  It helps control pain from ciliary spasm, provides a weak anti-inflammatory effect, and prevents or breaks synechia formation. In milder cases with open angles, I find one drop of atropine 1% given in the exam room to be sufficient. [odpcli.com]

  There was weak correlation between the number of clock hours of PAS and the gonioscopic angle width (adjusted p = 0.024), [ 36] but the number of clock hours of PAS was correlated with IOP (adjusted p < 0.001). The development of PAS is pathologic. [omicsonline.org]

• Developmental Delay

  Short stature has been noted and the amount of developmental delay is highly variable. Renal hypodysplasia and hydronephrosis have been described. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

• Skin Lesion

  Histology of the skin lesions shows a granulomatous appearance with a chronic inflammatory infiltrate. No multinucleated giant cells are seen. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

  On further questioning, she described the recent onset of a skin lesion on her finger that had been biopsied, revealing noncaseating granulomata consistent with sarcoidosis. [eyeworld.org]

  I look for skin lesions, lacrimal gland swelling and/or pigmentary changes of the skin or lashes. While I look for evidence of systemic disease, I avoid asking too many questions in regards to specific symptoms. [odpcli.com]

• Symmetrical Arthritis

  Deforming, symmetric arthritis of the hands, feet and elbows is frequently seen with periarticular bony resorption. The skin of the legs and feet are thick and lichenified. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

• Joint Deformity

  Treatment Treatment Options: The glaucoma should, of course, be treated but no treatment is available for the systemic disease beyond orthopedic correction of the joint deformities. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

• Corneal Edema

  Corneal edema has been noted in infants at several months of age. Painful bullous keratopathy or uncontrollable glaucoma may lead to enucleation in adult life. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

• Blurred Vision

   Peripheral anterior synechiae can present in the following manners:  Acute angle closure with the classic constellation of symptoms, including ocular pain, headaches, blurred vision, photophobia, watering and halos..  Reduced vision due to corneal [slideshare.net]

  Most patients have a significant reduction in endothelial cell density which eventually leads to corneal edema and blurred vision. Some patients have anterior synechiae and corectopia with secondary glaucoma. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

  Some patients have ocular redness, discomfort, blurred vision, or headache that lessens with sleep (perhaps because of sleep-induced miosis and posterior displacement of the lens by gravity). [merckmanuals.com]

• 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]

  Nystagmus, amblyopia, and high degrees of myopia and astigmatism are usually coincident conditions. The cells which usually contain the pigment are present, but the pigment itself is absent. The affection is hereditary. [operatingmicroscopes.com]

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 inflammation, topical corticosteroids can be used. [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]

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]

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]

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]

Cycloplegics may prevent and also break adhesions. Anti-inflammatory medications often prevent further formation of synechiae. [eyewiki.aao.org]
