Abstract

Purpose: Iridocorneo-endothelial (ICE) syndrome is known as a rare spectrum causing glaucoma, corneal and iris damages. Retinal complications are uncommon.

Observations: We report the case of a middle-aged woman suffering from a Cogan-Reese Syndrome (CRS) with refractory ocular hypertension (OHT) who presented a cystoid macular edema (CME) during follow up.

Conclusions and importance: We suspect the CME to be inflammatory linked to the pathophysiological hypotheses of the CRS. The CME was successfully treated with topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID). No consensus is available on its duration. A recurrence happened when treatment was stopped, its reintroduction was successful.

Keywords: Case report; Glaucoma; Iridocorneal endothelial syndrome; Macular edema.
