The Utility of Anterior Segment Imaging in an Atypical Case of Acute Angle Closure

Abstract

A young Chinese male presented with unilateral acute angle closure. Although clinically unclear, anterior segment optical coherence tomography and ultrasound biomicroscopy confirmed the cause of this patient's angle closure attack. In this case, the attack was secondary to the globular lens shape, spherophakia. This case illustrates the complementary role of anterior segment imaging modalities in an atypical presentation of acute angle closure.
