[Experiences with ciliary block ("malignant") glaucoma (author's transl)].
Following a brief review of various interpretations of the disease and its treatment, the author's observations in 13 cases (18 eyes) treated during a period of ten years are reported. The data (Tables 2 and 3) are discussed with reference to the different forms of clinical manifestation of the disease (Table 4). Therapeutic aspects are outlined on the basis of the personal experience of the authors. If conservative measures (mydriasis, hyperosmotics, carboanhydrase inhibitors) fail to control ciliary block glaucoma, surgical procedures directed at the anterior hyaloid membrane are indicated. This structure is approached either via the pars plana or via the transpupillary route after lens extraction. In some cases lens extraction alone was sufficient.
