[Trepanation with scleral flap (Elliot-Fronimopoulos) in acute narrow-angle glaucoma (author's transl)].
120 eyes with acute closed angle glaucoma were operated by goniotrepanation (Elliot-Fronimopoulos). The follow-up controls showed excellent results. Especially the quick restoration of the anterior chamber and the increase in its depth must be emphasized. There are very rare complications and the resulting eye pressure is normal.
