[Cyclocryotherapy of haemorrhagic glaucoma: clinical long time and histopathologic results (author's transl)]

67 eyes with a haemorrhagic glaucoma have been treated with different methods of cyclocryotherapy. 54 of the 67 patients were painless after a follow-up from 6 to 53 months. In 49 eyes the intraocular tension was under 25 mm Hg regardless of the applicationmethod used. 9 of the 67 eyes were found to be phthistic most of them in the series with the longest follow-up. The histopathologic findings of 8 eyes which had been excised after different postoperative periods show severe necrosis and chronic tissue reaction following cyclocryotherapy.
