[Complications following Molteno implant surgery: case report].
We present a 43-year old patient with refractory secondary glaucoma, who showed epithelial downgrowth into the anterior chamber following Molteno implant surgery. It will be discussed, whether the Molteno implant or the following keratoplasty, which was necessary because of corneal decompensation, caused the epithelial downgrowth.
