The case of a 40-year-old female patient with choroidal melanoma with secondary glaucoma presenting as a painful blind right eye is reported. Liver metastasis was detected by ultrasonography. The choroidal tumor measured 2 x 2.1 x 1.5 cm; histopathology showed that it was of the spindle cell (spindle A) variety. Such tumors are rare in non-white races and secondary glaucoma is an uncommon prese...

The iridocorneal endothelial (ICE) syndrome is a rare ocular disorder that includes a group of conditions characterized by structural and proliferative abnormalities of the corneal endothelium, the anterior chamber angle, and the iris. Common clinical features include corneal edema, secondary glaucoma, iris atrophy, and pupillary anomalies, ranging from distortion to polycoria. The main subtype...

AIMS To evaluate the effect of trans scleral cyclophotocoagulation (TSCPC) on intraocular pressure (IOP) in the eyes retaining intravitreal silicone oil with medically uncontrolled secondary glaucoma following intravitreal silicone oil injection. METHODS Medical records of 11 eyes of 11 patients who underwent TSCPC for medically uncontrolled glaucoma without pupillary block following intravit...

purpose : glaucoma following penetrating keratoplasty (pk) continues to be a serious problem that may ultimately become sight threatening. knowledge of the risk factors for development of glaucoma following pk, such as preexisting glaucoma, pseudophakia, aphakia, and previous pk, can limit the occurrence and improve the outcome of the keratoplasty. the management of postkeratoplasty (post-pk) g...

ALTHOUGH the effects of glaucoma on the human retina are well known (Duke-Elder, 1940; Wolff, 1951), accounts of the retinal degeneration following glaucoma in the dog are rare. It seemed of interest therefore to record details of two cases, particularly as the degeneration differs from other types reported in this series and follows closely the changes seen in man, except that the area central...

Our case had many unusual features. The site of occurrence of this tumor in the mediastinum is exceedingly rare. To the best of our knowledge, only one more case has been described in the mediastinum. CD34 negativity on IHC is also uncom­ mon. The closest differential diagnosis in our case is the SFT. But in our case, the architectural pattern was typical of lipomatous hemangiopericytoma and wa...

PURPOSE To study the cause, treatment, and cure of traumatic secondary glaucoma in 103 cases (103 eyes). METHODS The records of 103 patients (103 eyes) were reviewed. Causes of the high intraocular pressure (IOP) were analyzed according to the time after trauma. Most patients achieved a better visual acuity and ideal IOP after positive medical, neodymium:Yttrium aluminium garnet (Nd:YAG) lase...
