Gonioscopy in primary angle closure glaucoma

Seminars in Ophthalmology, 2002
Primary angle closure is a condition characterized by obstruction to aqueous humor outflow by the peripheral iris, and results in changes in the iridocorneal angle that are visible through gonioscopic examination. Gonioscopy in these eyes, however, can be difficult. This chapter discusses techniques that might help in the examination.

Primary angle‐closure glaucoma: an update

Acta Ophthalmologica, 2015
Abstract Primary angle‐closure glaucoma is potentially a devastating disease, responsible for half of glaucoma‐related blindness worldwide. Angle closure is characterized by appositional approximation or contact between the iris and trabecular meshwork. It tends to develop in eyes with shallow

Heredity in primary open-angle glaucoma

Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 2000
The past years have seen considerable progress in the characterization of hereditary factors in primary open-angle glaucoma. Epidemiologic studies strengthened our knowledge of the hereditary factors in this multifactorial disease. Several loci in the human genome have been described, which segregate with different glaucoma phenotypes. Mutations of the

Isolated primary craniopharyngioma in the cerebellopontine angle

Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2012
Between January 2000 and January 2011, we diagnosed three patients with isolated craniopharyngioma in the cerebellopontine angle (CPA). Brain MRI revealed cystic lesions with various imaging characteristics, including hypointensity on T1-weighted (T1W) images and hyperintensity on T2-weighted (T2W) images.

Race and Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1985
A comparison of racial distributions for three groups of patients showed that 115 of 140 patients (81.6%) with open-angle glaucoma, 221 of 392 patients (56.4%) with ocular hypertension, and 1,028 of 2,109 patients (48.7%) in a random sample were black.

Progression in Primary Angle Closure Eyes

Journal of Glaucoma, 2010
To study the long-term course of primary angle closure (PAC) eyes after iridotomy.Seventy-two eyes of 72 patients diagnosed as PAC, having occludable angles with evidence of closure, but no ocular hypertension, were studied. Laser iridotomy was carried out in all eyes at baseline.

Ophthalmology, 2000
To analyze the results of trabeculectomy performed for all cases of acute primary angle closure (APAC).Retrospective, noncomparative case seriesFifty-six consecutive patients who underwent trabeculectomy for APAC at two Singapore centers from 1993 through 1995.The conventional treatment for APAC is to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) medically, after ...
