Malignant glaucoma was diagnosed based on the presence of a shallow or flat central and peripheral anterior chamber in the presence of patent iridotomy, with intraocular pressure (IOP) of 22 mmHg or more after any intraocular surgery. Twenty-eight eyes of 26 patients who were treated for malignant glaucoma between 19. To report treatment outcomes in malignant glaucoma. Current research to improve surgical success includes the development of effective artificial drainage implants or the use of pharmacologic modulators of wound healing, which promote filtration by preventing scar formation. The exact causes for high failure of filtration surgery in aphakic eyes is not clearly understood scarring of the conjunctiva, the vitreous, and altered characteristics of the aqueous humor have all been incriminated. Life-long medical treatment is frequently justified, as alternative laser or surgical modalities may not be successful. Important diagnostic clues include the anterior chamber depth, the presence or absence of an iridectomy, gonioscopic findings, and the appearance of the optic nerve head. The presence of a pseudophakos may or may not contribute to the pathogenesis. There are several mechanisms by which glaucoma develops as a complication of the cataract extraction itself. Intraocular pressure may become temporarily or permanently elevated at various intervals following cataract surgery.
