title: [Glaucoma secondary to silicone oil in the anterior chamber].
abstract: METHODS
  A 53-year-old woman, with a history of a right retinal detachment treated by vitrectomy and silicone oil injection, who subsequently had the oil removed. She presented to us with a hypertensive anterior uveitis, which could not be controlled with medical treatment. On examination, micro-bubbles of emulsified silicone oil were evident in the anterior chamber simulating tyndall. A secondary glaucoma to emulsified silicone oil in the anterior chamber was diagnosed, and surgical treatment was proposed.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Although secondary glaucoma is a frequent complication after oil silicone injection in vitreo-retinopathy surgery, the presence of emulsified silicone oil in the anterior chamber simulating tyndall is uncommon.
