Abstract
A 78-year-old man had uneventful cataract surgery with implantation of a 1-piece plate–haptic intraocular lens in the capsular bag. Seven weeks later, he presented as an emergency with intense fibrinous uveitis and increased intraocular pressure (IOP). Examination revealed an inflammatory capsular block syndrome (CBS) causing fibrinous anterior uveitis and secondary angle-closure glaucoma. The glaucoma resolved and the patient’s vision improved following neodymium:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy. Inflammatory CBS should be considered in pseudophakic patients presenting with fibrinous anterior uveitis, increased IOP, and secondary angle closure.
