ACUTE CONGESTIVE OR INFLAMMATORY GLAUCOMA.

Iridencleisis in congestive glaucoma.

Gonioscopic studies in congestive glaucoma.

SINCE narrow-angle glaucoma was described by Barkan (1938), conflicting opinions have been expressed as to the correctness of his views. Barkan postulated, and many authors have since agreed with him, that the rise in intra-ocular pressure in the condition usually known as congestive glaucoma, is due to mechanical obstruction to the outflow of aqueous at the filtration angle of the anterior cha...

Gastric lesions in portal hypertension: inflammatory gastritis or congestive gastropathy?

This paper reports the incidence and natural history of macroscopic gastritis in a series of 127 consecutive patients with portal hypertension of various aetiologies. Gastritis was observed endoscopically in 65 patients (51%) and was of two main types. Twenty eight patients had severe or persistent gastritis which caused clinically significant bleeding on 80 occasions and accounted for 25% of t...

Intra-ocular pressure in primary congestive glaucoma.

THIS investigation was undertaken at the Institute of Ophthalmology, London, the patients being drawn from a series of 100 individuals. All of them suffered from glaucoma characterized by a clinical onset consisting of periodic halos, with episodes of blurred vision and ocular pain. They formed a group of primary glaucomas in the adult, defined in this paper as congestive. Other characteristics...

Inflammatory diseases and glaucoma

The context in which glaucoma or hypertension in inflammatory diseases is taken care of today has to take into account the tremendous technical developments that have taken place in the last twenty past years or so. These advances are of course not limited to uveitic glaucoma or hypertension but are particularly beneficial in these complex cases where inflammatory and glaucomatous parameters ha...
