After successful treatment of OC with intravenous and oral antibiotics, the patient presented to the clinic with the AGV completely extruded from the eye. There are only 10 previous cases of OC reported in the literature following glaucoma drainage device (GDD) implantation and no previous reports of spontaneous AVG extrusion. Close observation and thorough evaluation of the tube and plate positions are warranted to achieve better outcomes.
