title: [An uncommon clinical form of phakolytic glaucoma].
abstract: A 85 year old man was admitted with an acute endolphtalmitis, a high intraocular pressure (60 mm Hg) and a visual acuity with only light perception. The diagnosis was a phacolytic glaucoma by diffusion of lens proteins through the small preexisting perforation of the lens capsule. The lens was removed by an intracapsular extraction without intraocular lens. The intraocular pressure was normal on the first postoperative day and the visual acuity was improved to 6/10 P2.
