Transient glaucoma as a manifestation of mumps. A case report.
A case report of a 43-year-old man who during convalescence after mumps (parotitis epidemica) developed bilateral glaucoma associated with redness of his eyes but no other ocular manifestations. The chamber angles were open. No signs of scleritis or iritis were present. The best treatment was found to be prednisolone topically and acetazolamide orally. After ten days the intraocular pressure was normalized and after a fortnight all treatment could be discontinued.
