Resumen:
The case is presented of a patient referred to us with suspicion of a ciliary body melanoma due to a pigmented lesion in iris root of left eye, associated with high intraocular pressure, despite maximal topical and systemic medication. The systematic workup revealed unilateral changes in the corneal endothelium, compatible with an iridocorneal syndrome. An Ahmed ® valve was inserted, achieving sustained control of intraocular pressure and visual field defects.
