A rare syndrome caused a 44-year-old man’s eye to eerily resemble the flaming Eye of Sauron from “The Lord of the Rings.”

一种罕见的综合征导致一名44岁男子的眼睛,诡异地酷似《指环王》中索伦燃烧的眼睛。

The case came to light when the man, who was not identified in a report recently detailed in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), went to an eye clinic to reestablish care after moving to a new area.

最近,《新英格兰医学杂志》(NEJM)上的一篇报道详细介绍了这名男子的身份,但并没有透露他的身份。

The man, who had a family history of glaucoma – a condition that can damage the optic nerve and potentially cause blindness – told the doctor treating him that he had already been diagnosed with high eye pressure and was taking medication to treat it. But after performing an eye pressure test, the doctor noticed the man’s pressure was 21 mm Hg, slightly above the normal range of 12 to 20 mm Hg.

这名男子有青光眼家族史,这种病会损害视神经,并可能导致失明。他告诉治疗他的医生,他已经被诊断出患有高眼压,正在服药治疗。但在进行眼压测试后,医生注意到这名男子的眼压为21毫米汞柱,略高于正常范围的12至20毫米汞柱。

The subsequent eye exam then “revealed circumferential spoke-like iris transillumination defects in both eyes,” the report’s authors, from the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, wrote. The “glow” coming from the man’s eye was a result of the bright light used during the exam shining through the man’s iris, the colored part of the eye. This effect indicated defects in the pigment of his iris.

报告的作者来自加尔维斯顿的德克萨斯大学医学分部,他们写道,随后的眼科检查“发现了两眼的环状辐状虹膜透照缺陷”。这名男子眼睛发出的“辉光”是由于考试时使用的强光穿透了虹膜,虹膜是眼睛的有色部分。检测发现他虹膜色素有缺陷。

The doctor then diagnosed the man with “pigment dispersion syndrome,” which “occurs when pigment granules that normally adhere to the back of the iris flake off into the clear fluid produced in the eye, called the aqueous humor,” according to the Glaucoma Research Foundation.

据青光眼研究基金会(Glaucoma Research Foundation)称,医生随后诊断这名男子患有“色素分散综合症”,即“通常附着在虹膜后部的色素颗粒脱落,进入眼内产生的透明液体——房水”。

“Sometimes these granules flow toward the drainage canals of the eye, slowly clogging them and raising eye pressure,” it continues. Increased eye pressure can lead to glaucoma.

“有时这些颗粒会流向眼睛的引流管,慢慢堵塞它们,导致眼压升高,”报告继续写道。眼压升高会导致青光眼。

Following the diagnosis, the man in the NEJM case report underwent laser therapy to relieve his drainage canals of the fluid, decreasing the pressure in his eye. He then continued taking medication to keep his eye pressure levels in a healthy range, according to the report.

在确诊后,NEJM病例报告中的男子接受了激光治疗,以缓解他的引流管中的液体,降低他眼睛的压力。报道称,他随后继续服药,以保持眼压在健康范围内。
