Bilateral simultaneous primary acute angle-closure glaucoma

Primary Angle Closure Glaucoma

Primary angle-closure glaucoma

The picture of primary angle-closure glaucoma accompanied by its shallow anterior chamber is so distinct that for many years it has evoked considerable curiosity concerning possible genetic determination. Family trees were published (Sedan and Sedan-Bauby, 1949; Waardenburg, I96I) and attempts were made to fit the inheritance into a genetic pattern-but without convincing success. Authors seemed...

METHODS An interventional case report of a 70-year-old male who developed bilateral, acute myopia and angle closure glaucoma after ingesting methazolamide tablets for the treatment of normal tension glaucoma.

Topiramate-associated acute, bilateral, angle-closure glaucoma: case report.

This paper describes a topiramate induced acute bilateral angle-closure glaucoma. This rare adverse effect is an idiosyncratic reaction characterized by uveal effusion and lens forward displacement, leading to increased intraocular pressure and vision loss. We describe a 55 year-old white woman with migraine, spasmodic torticollis and essential tremor, who developed bilateral acute angle-closur...
