[Cyclocryotherapy of haemorrhagic glaucoma: clinical long time and histopathologic results (author's transl)]. 1977

J Faulborn, and F Birnbaum

67 eyes with a haemorrhagic glaucoma have been treated with different methods of cyclocryotherapy. 54 of the 67 patients were painless after a follow-up from 6 to 53 months. In 49 eyes the intraocular tension was under 25 mm Hg regardless of the applicationmethod used. 9 of the 67 eyes were found to be phthistic most of them in the series with the longest follow-up. The histopathologic findings of 8 eyes which had been excised after different postoperative periods show severe necrosis and chronic tissue reaction following cyclocryotherapy.

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.
