[Chandler syndrome--a case report].
Chandler's syndrome is a particularly rare form of unilateral secondary glaucoma, in which--besides other symptoms--corneal epithelial edema occurs even when intraocular pressure rises slightly to above 20 mmHg. For 3 years now the authors have had a patient under observation whose condition corresponds to Chandler's syndrome. A remarkable feature of this case is that corneal edema occurred at physiological pressure levels. The symptoms and course are described; a brief differential diagnostic review is given and therapeutic possibilities are pointed out.
