Abstract:
Patient hospitalized for angle closure glaucoma in right eye underwent trabeculectomies in both eyes. In the right eye, six months after surgery, he presented intraocular hypertension, shallow anterior chamber and cataract, considered to be intumescent cataract. The left eye (operated six months after the right eye) showed same signs two weeks after surgery. Diagnosis was malignant glaucoma in spite of missing of ultrasound signs- pooling of aqueous in vitreous body. Note the relapse episodes of intraocular hypertension, shallow anterior chamber in left eye, with complete resolution after cicloplegics-mydratics drops only.
