Rajak SN, Bahra A, Aburn NS, Warden NJ, Mossman SS Recurrent anterior chamber hemorrhage from an intraocular lens simulating amaurosis fugax. [JOURNAL ARTICLE] J Cataract Refract Surg 2007 Aug; 33(8):1492-1493.
Uveitis-glaucoma-hyphema syndrome is a rare late complication of anterior segment surgery. We present 2 unusual cases of this syndrome that were mistakenly diagnosed as amaurosis fugax, leading to contraindicated treatment. These cases illustrate the need for ophthalmologic examination during an episode of symptoms.
