Main Article Content

Abstract

Objectives: To describe the clinical and imaging features of malignant glaucoma patients who needed surgical interventions. Patients and Methods: descriptive cross sectional study. Results: study recruited 53 eyes from 46 patients who finally treated by surgical interventions. Mean age was 59,7 year old, female accounted for 76.1%. 77.4% was diagnosed with PACG before the onset of malignant glaucoma. Majority of cases had been treated with trabeculectomy before the onset of malignant glaucoma (77.4%). Eyes with AL ≤ 22mm accounted for 71.7%. Mean AL was 21.7mm. Flattened and anteriorly rotated ciliary body was observed on UBM in 85% of cases. Conclusion: Malignant glaucoma tended to appear in old, female patients, who had been previously diagnosed with PACG, short AL and treated with trabeculectomy.
