We report a case of Urrets-Zavalia Syndrome after a glaucoma filtration device (g.f.d.) implantation. A 74-year-old woman with bilateral advanced glaucoma has been planned for surgery.

In this article we describe the clinical history of this patient. To our knowledge, this is the first case of Urrets-Zavalia Syndrome after a g.f.d. implantation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
