Ahmed valve dislocationAbstract
We present a 40-year-old man, who presented at a tertiary care unit with a history of blunt trauma to the right eye (RE) three years ago in a football game with a ball. He developed post-traumatic uveitis with an acute increase in IOP. He required surgical management with an AGV. He presents persistent pain and foreign body sensation in his RE after trauma from falling from a bicycle a month ago. Slit-lamp examination showed dislocation of the temporal-superior AGV with a conjunctival cyst, discoric pupil secondary to pulling due to the valve at the 9-10 meridian. IOP was within limits in both eyes; Fundus examination was adequate.
