Abstract #5749 Published in IGR 2-1
Good practices in traumatic glaucoma
Ducasse A; Denis PJournal Français d'Ophtalmologie 2000; 23: 295-298
The authors review different aspects of trauma-induced glaucoma and hypertonia, discussing pathophysiology, patient management, and the main clinical presentations. One can distinguish schematically first acute hypertonia related to changes in the position of the crystalline lens or to a hypema which requires emergency medical or surgical care and, secondly, chronic situations generally related to definitive angle lesions. The authors also discuss particular presentations such as phantom-cell glaucoma and glaucoma by chemical burn or siderosis. LA: French
