Purpose: To assess the efficacy and safety of Gonioscopy Assisted Transluminal Trabeculotomy (GATT) in the
treatment of glaucomatocyclitic crisis (Posner-Schlossman syndrome).
Materials and methods: We retrospectively reviewed six patients diagnosed with glaucomatocyclitic crisis and
uncontrolled Intraocular Pressure (IOP) who underwent Gonioscopy Assisted Transluminal Trabeculotomy (GATT).
ALL the patients were followed-up for 12 months after the surgery. Clinical outcome measurements included visual
acuity, intraocular pressure, complications and relapses.
Results: Mean IOP before GATT was 31.17 mmHg ± 7.08 mmHg (range 23 mmHg-41 mmHg). The mean number
of anti-glaucoma medication prior to surgery was 2.50 ± 0.55. By the last follow-up, IOP in 5 patients was reduced to
normal level (15... View More»
