Résumé
To describe a case of severe A 64-year-old woman with open-angle glaucoma developed severe endophthalmitis 21 months after Xen® Gel Stent implantation. On presentation, visual acuity was limited to light perception. Examination revealed a 100% hypopyon, blebitis and an exposed stent, along with orbital cellulitis. Immediate explantation of the exposed Xen® was performed, and intravitreal antibiotics were administered. As for other filtering surgeries, blebitis and severe endophthalmitis can occur after Xen® Gel Stent implantation. Patients with thin conjunctiva and/or cystic blebs over the stent should be followed particularly closely.
