[Secondary glaucoma mechanisms (author's transl)].

A new classification of the glaucomas concerned with the mechanisms of the intraocular pressure rise is presented. We differentiate hyperproduction and outflowblock glaucomas. The latter are divided into pre-, intra- and postrabecular forms. It is stressed that a gonioscopically open angle can be hydrodynamically closed and vice versa. This classification is based on the anatomical location of the outflow blockage and not on the gonioscopic impression.

Intraocular fibrous proliferation as an incisional complication in pars plana vitrectomy.

We enucleated an eye of a 39-year-old white man four weeks after partial pars plana vitrectomy was carried out for removal of an amagnetic foreign body which failed. Vitreous clouding complicated the perforating injury. Histological findings included massive ingrowth of fibrous tissue into the vitreous space and along preretinal planes, total retinal detachment with degenerations, and localized proliferations of the pigmentary epithelium. All proliferations originated at the site of the sclerotomy incision.

[Long-term results of laser-trabecular-puncture (author's transl)].

A report on 38 eyes with glaucoma simplex that were treated by laser-trabecular-puncture 2 years ago is given. By this method one attempts to perforate the trabecular meshwork by means of a laser beam. Gonioscopy revealed that the pores had become occluded by scar tissue and goniosynechiae. In only 3 eyes (7.9%) was the intraocular tension lowered. The hypothesis is made, that in these cases contracture of scar tissue in the iris tissue led to a pull on the trabecular network and hence to an improvement of liquor drainage.
