A 7-month-old intact male Maltese dog was presented with a 1.5-month history of glaucoma in the righteye (OD). Ophthalmic examinations revealed a corneal perforation with iris entrapment, corneal edema and neovascularization,and buphthalmos OD. Intraocular pressures were 33 mmHg OD and 19 mmHg in left eye (OS). The righteye was diagnosed with chronic glaucoma and corneal perforation with iris entrapment. Now that the eye was blind,implantation of intraocular silicone prosthesis (ISP) and conjunctival flap were elected to salvage the globe. The cornealperforation healed with the conjunctival pedicle flap and the cornea accommodated the ISP properly. A satisfactorycosmetic result was achieved without complications in the 15 months following the procedure. Therefore, this casereport indicates the combined an ISP and a conjunctival flap would be an alternative for the treatment of glaucomaassociated with corneal perforation in dogs.
