Complicated extracapsular cataract surgery in pseudoexfoliation syndrome: a case report.

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Crystalline lens dislocation and zonular dialysis during intraocular surgery are recognised features of the pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PES). A case is reported in which zonular dialysis occurred in both eyes during extracapsular cataract extraction. In particular surgery was complicated by difficulty in performing anterior capsulotomy. Careful preoperative assessment and peroperative technique may help to reduce the risk of surgical complication in PES.
