Abstract

An 8-year-old male dog weighing 7.9 kg was referred to us for evaluation of exophthalmos and corneal edema of the left eye, on which cataract surgery had been performed 3 years prior. On ophthalmic examination, the left eye showed an extremely high intraocular pressure (47 mmHg), with no menace response, dazzle reflex, or pupillary light reflex. The dog was treated with systemic and topical glaucoma medications. After treatment, corneal edema decreased but IOP did not return to within acceptable limits. Seventeen months later, the dog presented with hyphema, episcleral congestion, and corneal edema attributable to accidental trauma. The owner wished to maintain an attractive ocular appearance, and an intraocular silicone prosthesis (ISP) was thus inserted after the evisceration. Three months postoperatively, a corneal ulcer was detected, but this resolved successfully after prescription of appropriate medication. One year after surgery, no complications related to surgery were evident.

체중 7.9 kg, 나이 8세의 수컷견이 좌측 안구의 돌출과 각막 부종 증세로 건국대학교 수의과대학 부속 동물병원에 내원하였다. 3년 전 좌안에 백내장 수술을 받은 병력이 있었다. 안과 검사상에서 좌안의 안압은 매우 높았으며 (47 mmHg), 눈부심반사는 음성이었다. 환축은 속발성 녹내장에 준하여 전신 및 국소적 약물 처치를 받았다. 약물 처치 후, 각막 부종은 감소되었으나, 좌안의 안압은 30-35 mmHg로 여전히 높은 상태를 보였다. 17개월 후, 환축은 우발적인 외상으로 인하여 전안방 출혈, 상공막 충혈과 각막 부종 상태를 보여 다시 내원하였다. 안구 외형을 보존하고 싶어하는 보호자의 요청에 따라 안구내 실리콘 보철물 삽입이 안구내용적출술을 통하여 실시되었다. 수술 3개월 후 좌안에 각막궤양이 발생하였으나, 약물 처치 후 호전되었다. 이후 1년까지 환축은 다른 합병증 없이 안정적인 상태를 보였다.
