title: [Ocular hypertension in patients with infiltrative-edematous exophthalmos in Graves' disease].
abstract: The increase of the IOP--5 to 30 mm Hg--was observed in patients in whom severe infiltrative changes in the motor muscles dominated the clinical picture. Characteristic for glaucoma changes of the visual field and optic papilla were not seen, the angle was open and the outflow coefficient was in normal limits. The normalization of the IOP was obtained after decompensation of the orbits when the exophthalmos and the infiltrative changes in the motor muscles of the eye receded.
