Abstract :
Purpose: To report a patient with Urrets-Zavalia (U-Z) syndrome after penetrating keratoplasty
(PKP) in both eyes
Case report: A 22-year-old woman with keratoconus associated with a central full thickness scar in
both eyes underwent PKP in her right eye that was postoperatively associated with a fixed dilated
pupil and severe fibrin reaction, posterior synechiae and mild anterior sub capsular cataract.
However he developed fixed dilated pupil leading to posterior synechiae after PKP in the second
eye.
Conclusion: This case shows an intrinsic susceptibility for U-Z syndrome which alerts surgeons in
the case of second eye surgery.
