[Phacolytic and hemolytic glaucoma (author's transl)]

J Wollensak

    Klinische Monatsblatter Fur Augenheilkunde
    |April 1, 1976

    Summary

    This study describes acute secondary open-angle glaucoma, including hemolytic and phacolytic types. Hemolytic glaucoma, often from vitreous hemorrhage, presents with pigment deposits, while phacolytic glaucoma requires cataract extraction.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Pathology

    Context:

    • Acute secondary open-angle glaucoma can arise from various intraocular conditions.
    • Distinguishing between different types of secondary glaucoma is crucial for effective management.

    Purpose:

    • To present clinical and histological findings of four patients with acute secondary open-angle glaucoma.
    • To differentiate hemolytic glaucoma from other forms like hemosiderotic and neovascular glaucoma.
    • To highlight the distinct treatment strategies for hemolytic and phacolytic glaucoma.

    Summary:

    • Four cases of acute secondary open-angle glaucoma are detailed, including two hemolytic, one phacolytic, and one transitioning from hemolytic to hemosiderotic.
    • Hemolytic glaucoma, associated with vitreous hemorrhage (often due to retinal detachment), shows pigment on the trabecular meshwork, with macrophages and red blood cell debris in ocular fluids.
    • Phacolytic glaucoma results from lens protein leakage.

    Impact:

    • Provides insights into the pathogenesis and histological features of hemolytic and phacolytic glaucoma.
    • Emphasizes the importance of accurate diagnosis for appropriate treatment, contrasting medical/surgical interventions for hemolytic glaucoma with immediate cataract extraction for phacolytic glaucoma.
