Regression of urrets-zavalia syndrome after deep lamellar keratoplasty for keratoconus: a case study

Open Ophthalmol J. 2008 Aug 8:2:130-1. doi: 10.2174/1874364100802010130.

Abstract

We report a case of pharmacologic regression of Urrets-Zavalia syndrome, following deep lamellar keratoplasty for severe keratoconus. Sympatholytic and parasympathomimetic drops were administered and a progressive reduction of mydriasis and restoring of pupillary kinetics were observed. Four years after surgery, it was resulting in only slight residual anisocoria.
