Abstract:
Five patients with the Kraup-Posner-Schlossmann syndrome are described. The disease has been erroneously taken for chronic serous iridocyclitis of tuberculous origin with hypertension. One patients later developed a true glaucomatous process. The authors believe that the complex of characteristic symptoms of glaucomatous crisis in general can be considered pathognomonic for this disease. No differential diagnosis for ruling out tuberculous or other (endogenous) iridocyclitis is needed in cases when this complex is present. Patients with symptomatic ophthalmic hypertension are in need of regular check-ups.
