Abstract

MIQUELI RODRIGUEZ, Maritza; PEREZ SUAREZ, Raúl Gabriel; VIGOA ARANGUREN, Lázaro  and  RIO TORRES, Marcelino. Acute close-angle glaucoma: A case presentation. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 1999, vol.12, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3070.

The increase of intraocular pressure caused by intraocular tumors was described many years ago but since they are not frequent affections and mechanisms of hypertension are varied, then the causal diagnosis of glaucoma is difficult and lenghty. This paper presents a patient with an acute close-angle glaucoma originated from a malignant tumor in tractus uveal.

Keywords : GLAUCOMA, ANGLE-CLOSURE [diagnosis]; OCULAR HYPERTENSION.
