Abstract

PURPOSE
To report a case of Chandler's syndrome associated with anterior uveitis. METHODS: We encountered a 39-year-old woman who complained of decreased visual acuity in the left eye with anterior uveitis and increased intraocular pressure. On examination, we found corectopia, endothelial pleomorphism and peripheral anterior synechiae, leading to the diagnosis of Chandler's syndrome with anterior uveitis. RESULTS: The anterior uveitis and increased intraocular pressure in Chandler's syndrome were well controlled with the use of Beta-blocker, Latanoprost and topical corticosteroids. We report this case with a review of the literatures.

Key Words: Anterior uveitis;Chandler's syndrome;Latanoprost
