Abstract

Introduction: We present a case of a sickle cell patient who presented with Urrets-Zavalia Syndrome (UZS) like characteristics without having undergone any surgical procedures. Case report: A 41-year-old woman diagnosed with sickle cell thalassemia presented with glaucoma of the both eyes. Visual acuity was decreased in both eyes. Epithelial edema was observed in corneas of both eyes, most prominently in the left eye. Peripheral anterior synechiae were present bilaterally. Intraocular pressure was measured to be 26 mmHg in the right eye and 36 mmHg in the left eye. Fixed dilated pupils were observed in both eyes. Fluorescein angiography revealed ischemia of the iris in the right eye. Conclusion: Physicians should keep a high suspicion of UZS in all patients with fixed dilated pupils, especially in sickle cell disease, regardless of having undergone ophthalmic surgeries or not. © 2019, © 2019 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
