[Recent aspects in the pathomechanism of glaucoma (author's transl)].
The NEFA-content of the blood serum increases in cases of acute glaucoma. The Cortisol content of the plasma of glaucomatous persons is above 20 microng% and the free cortisol-content of the plasma shows an increase in glaucoma cases. Macrofibrils can be observed by electron microscopic observation of acute glaucoma cases. The combination of diabetes and glaucoma appears more and more frequently. The pseudoglaucomatous excavation has a vasogenic origin. The use of contraceptives may provoke glaucoma.
