Abstrakt: Malignant glaucoma describes a rare constellation with shallowing of the anterior chamber and raised intraocular pressure, which can occur after ocular surgery, trauma or spontaneously. The pathophysiological mechanism seems to consist of a posteriorly directed flow of the aqueous humor formed in the ciliary body into or behind the vitreous body. Most cases can only be treated by surgical intervention. This article describes a bilateral postoperative occurrence, which could be successfully treated with medication alone and no need for surgery.
