title: [Glaucoma in the presence of chalcosis (author's transl)].
abstract: There are only few reports in the literature about the coincidence of a glaucoma with a chalcosis. After briefly presenting such a case the authors discuss the differential diagnosis; a strictly monocular chronic simple glaucoma, a contusion glaucoma or a glaucoma secondary to chalcosis. Since glaucoma and chalcosis coincide so infrequently there is no basis for assuming a true secondary glaucoma due to chalcosis existing, as is the case with siderosis.
