[Postcontusion glaucoma].
Secondary posttraumatic glaucoma. Blunt ocular trauma may cause transient or permanent high IOP, occurring immediately or in time after the injury. This study presents some clinical and therapeutical considerations about 16 cases which developed secondary glaucoma. The elevation of IOP was associated with hyphema, iridodialysis, zonular tears (with lens luxation or subluxations), alterations of the iridocorneal angle.
