CASE REPORT We present the clinical case of a 68 year-old woman who developed a pupillary block acute glaucoma due to vitreous hernia into anterior chamber following posterior dislocation of the intraocular lens one month after an Nd:YAG capsulotomy. DISCUSSION We should consider these symptoms in the differential diagnosis of pseudophakic acute glaucoma, especially when visualisation of the anterior chamber is difficult due to corneal oedema and Nd:YAG capsulotomy was done.
