Ciliochoroidal detachment and hypotony following pharmacologic aqueous supressant: therapy supersensitivity syndrome secondary to aqueous humor supressants

The authors describe a case of hypotony and ciliochoroidal detachment following aqueous supressant therapy (timolol and acetazolamide) in filtered patients (3 months before). As this case is the 6th or the 7th case described in the literature, the authors call attention to this rare "syndrome" that includes the ciliary body supersensitivity secondary to pharmacologic aqueous supressant as cause of hypotony and ciliochoroidal detachment in previously filtered patients. The authors also summmarize the literature cases.
