[Good practices in traumatic glaucoma].

Abstract

We review different aspects of trauma induced glaucoma and hypertonia, discussing pathophysiology, patient management, and the main clinical presentations. One can distinguish schematically first acute hypertonia related to changes in the position of the crystalline lens or to a hyphema which requires emergency medical or surgical care and second, chronic situations generally related to definitive angle lesions. We also discuss particular presentations such as phantom cell glaucoma and glaucoma by chemical burn or siderosis.
