| Abstract | A 76-year-old man presented with right eyelid swelling and deteriorated vision. Examination revealed anterior uveitis with hypopyon and a visual acuity of 20/2,000 in the right eye, with no abnormalities in the left. Computed tomography revealed enlargement of the right maxillary sinus and internal fluid accumulation, suggesting a postoperative maxillary cyst (POMC). Nasal endoscopic surgery drained the pus by opening the lower wall of the maxillary cyst. Following the procedure, intraocular inflammation resolved, and visual acuity in the right eye improved to 24/20. This is the first reported case of uveitis secondary to POMC.
