[Trabeculectomy for secondary glaucoma caused by metastasis of breast carcinoma].
A 40 year old female presented with secondary glaucoma and loss of vision due to anterior pole metastasis of breast carcinoma. Trabeculectomy was performed after chemotherapy failed to control the uveal metastases. Ocular pressure control was obtained post-surgically and resulted in excellent visual rehabilitation during the next ten months prior to her demise.
