[A new operative method for the treatment of malignant glaucoma (author's transl)].
Since 1971 the University Eye Clinic Graz has used the cryocoagulation of the ciliary body as a method of therapy in cases of malignant glaucoma. In all 7 eyes treated once by coagulation the malignant course was interrupted and the tension permanently regulated. It is believed that the cyclotherapy directly interferes with the pathomechanism of the malignant glaucoma.
