title: Recurrent anterior uveitis after trabeculectomy with mitomycin C.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report 4 cases of recurrent anterior uveitis occurring 1-11 months after trabeculectomy with mitomycin C.
  
  
  METHODS
  Observational case series.
  
  
  METHODS
  Four patients in whom recurrent uveitis developed after trabeculectomy with mitomycin C, followed at Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital in Montreal, Quebec.
  
  
  METHODS
  Retrospective review of the medical records.
  
  
  RESULTS
  One to 11 months after trabeculectomy with mitomycin C, noninfectious, recurrent anterior uveitis developed in 4 patients with no prior history of uveitis. Topical and intravitreal corticosteroids were effective in reducing acute inflammation, yet 2 patients went on to have chronic anterior uveitis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Recurrent anterior uveitis presenting later than 3 weeks postoperatively may be associated with trabeculectomy with mitomycin C. It should be included in the differential diagnosis of a nonresolving blebitis.
