AIM: To evaluate the clinical therapeutic effect and risk factors of phacoemulsification combined with malignant glaucoma. METHODS: Five patients combined with malignant glaucoma during the phacoemulsification operation were studied for the analysis of the treatment and the observation of clinical therapeutic effect. RESULTS: Five patients combined with malignant glaucoma during the operation were females. The axial length was from 20.8mm to 21.9mm. Five cases were smoothly implanted intraocular lens. There were no serious ocular complications after the operation. The cornea was transparent and the depth of anterior chamber was normal. The postoperative vision was from 0.5 to 0.8. The intraocular pressure was normal after 1 month follow-up observation. CONCLUSION: Small eye ball and short axial length were risk factors of malignant glaucoma during the operation. Careful treatment can achieve a satisfactory therapeutic effect. LA: Chinese
