[Traumatic cyclodialysis and its treatment (author's transl)]

A summary of the literature concerning traumatic cyclodialysis is given. Among 5 cases reports 4 hypotension-syndromes occurred. Traumatic cyclodialysis with persistent hypotension as well as postoperative hypotension resulting from planned cyclodialysis require the same surgical treatment. 3 out of 4 cases with hypotony-syndrome were treated succesfully by surgical closing of the cleft. Another case who had panophthalmitis prior to surgery became phthisic. The surgical procedure used is similar to that described in the literature.
