14 eyes of 14 patients with medically untreatable glaucoma and extremely bad surgical prognosis because of young age, secondary glaucomas or following previous surgery were treated by means of goniotrephination with a scleral flap and a fornix-based conjunctival flap. Postoperatively, all eyes received 5 mg 5-fluorouracil in 0.5 ml NaCl 0.9% subconjunctivally daily for 7 days and weekly for another 6 weeks. IOP was lowered in all eyes from 33.9 +/- 5.0 mmHg preoperatively to 15.6 +/- 8.4 mmHg 1 year postoperatively. 71% of eyes were IOP controlled without further therapy. Results were unfavourable in eyes with irido-corneo-endothelial syndrome. Local side effects were less frequent than described previously, possible due to the reduced but prolonged administration of 5-fluorouracil. Also, all eyes received corneal supportive therapy with hyaluronic acid and polyvinyl alcohol.

D005901	Glaucoma	An ocular disease, occurring in many forms, having as its primary characteristics an unstable or a sustained increase in the intraocular pressure which the eye cannot withstand without damage to its structure or impairment of its function. The consequences of the increased pressure may be manifested in a variety of symptoms, depending upon type and severity, such as excavation of the optic disk, hardness of the eyeball, corneal anesthesia, reduced visual acuity, seeing of colored halos around lights, disturbed dark adaptation, visual field defects, and headaches.
