FAMILIAL primary glaucoma is a recognized entity. It has been reported in the literature quite regularly, though not frequently. Benedict (1842) was the first to recognize the familial inheritance of glaucoma, and other authors followed with large collections of such cases. Something like 18 per cent. of the total cases of glaucoma show an hereditary component (Havener, 1955). Duke-Elder (1940)...

NEW blood vessels appear on the disc in many ocular conditions, but their appearance in glaucoma is infrequent. Duke-Elder (1940) describes the formation of new blood vessels on the retina and the optic disc due to glaucoma as comnmon, and cites several references from the older literature (Von Graefe, 1854; Hormuth, 1903; Bloch, 1906; Axenfeld, 1911; Kraupa, 1915). Fuchs (1951) also mentions t...

Malignant glaucoma was described for the first time and named so by Albrecht von Graefe in 1869 [1]. It is characterized by normal or increased IOP (intraocular pressure) associated with axial shallowing of the entire anterior chamber in the presence of a patent peripheral iridotomy [2,3]. The pathology is based on the existence of a block for normal flow of aque‐ ous humour, which results in t...

Acute inflammatory or congestive glaucoma was recognized in ancient times as an entity and well it might be in view of its dramatic symptoms and extreme pain. In 1857 von Graefe described its symptomatology in modem language and recognized it as a primary form of glaucoma in the adult. Among other features he noted that a characteristic of the eye so affected was shallowness of the anterior cha...
