Malignant glaucoma following laser iridotomy.
Australian and New Zealand Journal of Ophthalmology 1995 November
BACKGROUND: A 69-year-old man presented with malignant glaucoma 10 days after an iridotomy for acute angle-closure glaucoma.
METHODS: The case notes are reviewed, describing his presentation and treatment, including the technique of extracapsular cataract extraction with anterior vitrectomy.
RESULTS: An excellent visual outcome was achieved with no recurrence of the malignant glaucoma.
CONCLUSIONS: This case illustrates the recently established link between laser iridotomy and malignant glaucoma. Miotics and other possible causes are excluded, a surgical option is described and the importance of assessing central anterior chamber depth in cases of angle closure is emphasised.
