PRCIS: We report a case of a 45-year-old woman who developed serous retinal detachment, hypotony, and retinal necrosis after Xen gel stent implantation. A 45-year-old woman developed sudden blurring of vision 4 days after Xen gel stent replacement surgery. Persistent hypotony, uveitis, and serious retinal detachment rapidly progressed despite medical and surgical treatments. Retinal necrosis, optic atrophy, and total blindness developed within 2 months. Although infectious and autoimmune-related uveitis were ruled out through negative culture and blood test results, acute postoperative infectious endophthalmitis could not be completely excluded in this case. However, toxic retinopathy related to mitomycin- C was suspected eventually.
