Risk Factors of Malignant Glaucoma Occurrence after Glaucoma Surgery.

Conclusions: The risk of malignant glaucoma development is associated with penetrating characteristic of glaucoma surgery, after which this complication appears and its occurrence is higher in eyes with shallow iridocorneal angle. The risk of malignant glaucoma after trabeculectomy compared to iridencleisis as well as after phacotrabeculectomy compared to phacoiridencleisis is equivalent. PMID: 29138695 [PubMed]
