Uveal Effusion Syndrome With Sjögren's Syndrome Initially Presenting as Acute Glaucoma With Angle Closure: Case Report

Background: A case of Uveal Effusion Syndrome (UES) with Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is reported, which initially presented as acute angle-closure glaucoma. Case Presentation: A 53-year-old male patient, who is deaf and mute, was reported. He initially presented with acute angle-closure glaucoma, experiencing a sudden loss of vision along with elevated intraocular pressure. This condition was characterized by detachment of the ciliary body, retina, and choroid. Subsequently, he was diagnosed with UES. Due to his inability to communicate verbally, the patient was unable to express symptoms such as dry eyes, dry mouth, and joint pain. However, laboratory tests revealed positive results for serum anti-SSA antibody, rheumatoid factor antibody and ANA antibody, and the Schirmer test was also positive, indicating the presence of primary Sjögren's syndrome. Conclusion: Among the causes of secondary angle-closure glaucoma, UES is also a disease that cannot be ignored. The manifestations of UES require further exploration of the true pathogenesis, and the possibility of secondary systemic diseases needs to be ruled out.
