SECONDARY ANGLE CLOSURE GLAUCOMA
 Caused by impairment of aqueous outflow secondary to
apposition between the peripheral iris and the trabeculum.
 Related or identifiable ophthalmic condition is known to be
present with the onset of angle closure : “secondary” ACG
3
Two fundamental mechanisms:
 Anterior pulling mechanism:
peripheral iris pulled forward onto
TM by contraction of a membrane,
inflammatory exudate, or fibrous
band
 Posterior pushing mechanism:
peripheral iris is displaced forward by
lens, vitreous, or ciliary body
4
CLASSIFICATION
1. Anterior ‘pulling mechanism:
Contraction of an inflammatory, hemorrhagic, or vascular
membrane, band, or exudate in the angle
PAS
Forward displacement of lens-iris interface
Often accompanied by swelling and anterior rotation of ciliary body
5
ANTERIOR ‘PULLING MECHANISM
a. Neovascular glaucoma
b. Iridocorneal endothelial
syndromes (e.g. Chandler’s
syndrome)
c. Posterior polymorphous
dystrophy
d. Epithelial down growth
e. Fibrous ingrowth
f. Flat anterior chamber
g. Inflammation
6
NEOVASCULAR GLAUCOMA
Secondary glaucoma resulting from
neovascularization of anterior segment,
including iris and angle often
associated with retinal hypoxia.
SYNONYMS
1. Hemorrhagic glaucoma
2. Thrombotic glaucoma
3. Rubeotic glaucoma
4. Congestive glaucoma
5. Diabetic hemorrhagic glaucoma
9
NEOVASCULAR GLAUCOMA (NVG)
 Primary initiating events : hypoxia
and poor retinal capillary
circulation
 Begins as formation of new vessels
 Ends with fibrovascular membranes
migrating over drainage angle,
potentially leading to end-stage
glaucoma 10
HISTORY
1906  Coates , NVI in CRVO termed as RUBEOSIS IRIDIS
1937  Kurtz , NVA leading to PAS formation
1963  Weiss et al, coined the term NEOVASCULAR GLAUCOMA
11
12
ETIOLOGY
Diabetic retinopathy (M.C.C)
CRVO/CRAO
Ocular ischemic disease
Carotid artery occlusive disease
• 36% cases : arise from CRVO
• 32% : proliferative diabetic
retinopathy
• 13% : carotid artery occlusive
disease 13
PATHOGENESIS
 Theory of angiogenesis factor:
 Michaelson 1948
Postulated existence of “X factor”, a vasoformative factor
which controlled development of new vessels
 Folkman et al
Isolated a soluble substance from a solid neoplasm capable
of producing neovascularisaton and popularised the term
“tumor angiogenesis factor”
16
 VEGF (Vascular endothelial growth factor)
 Potent angiogenic stimulator
 Has role in both normal and pathologic angiogenesis
 Also known as “vascular permeability factor” as induces
vascular hyperpermeability and endothelial cell
proliferation
 Four isoforms:
1. VEGF121
2. VEGF165 - most abundant form in most tissues
3. VEGF189
4. VEGF206
17
 Lens and vitreous acts as mechanical barriers and also releases
vaso inhibitory factors
 So any complicated cataract sx PCR, APHAKIA more
predisposition
 VEGF synthesised by all tissues in retina, mainly
MULLERS CELL.
 VEGF conc 50-100 times more in aqueous humour
in NVG
18
19
Muller cells –primary source in conditions of retinal
ischemia
Retinal capillary or venous obstruction
Hypoxia of retinal cells
Production of vasoformative factor
Diffuses anteriorly
Stimulates iris angiogenesis
20
 Theory of vasoinhibitory factors (VIF):
 Source of VIF : Vitreous, lens and retinal pigment
epithelial cells
 Risk increased by vitrectomy and lensectomy
22

mmHg
 Mid-dilated, non
reactive pupil

25
Stages of neovascular glaucoma.
DIAGNOSIS:
 Gonioscopy: vitally important to detect in early stage as NVA
can occur without NVI
 Strong association with CRVO
Treatment of choice
 Clear media : Panretinal photocoagulation
 Cloudy media
 Prevent laser therapy
 Panretinal cryotherapy - alternative to Vitrectomy to clear
the media with endophotocoagulation
 Or subsequent panretinal photocoagulation
 Anti -VEGF
33
IRIDOCORNEAL ENDOTHELIAL (ICE)
SYNDROME
 Group of disorders
characterized by abnormal
corneal endothelium
 Usually includes-
 iris atrophy
 corneal edema
 secondary angle-closure
glaucoma without pupillary
block
35
Cause:
Abnormal corneal endothelium forming a membrane over
anterior surface of iris and angle structures
Contraction of this membrane
Distorts iris and closes angle
36
In Variants:
 In early to mid adult life
 whites > blacks
 women > men
 U/L > B/L (fellow eye may have subclinical
abnormalities)
37
PATHOGENESIS
 Defect site: corneal endothelium – dysfunction corneal
edema
 Corneal endothelium elaborates a membrane contracts
forms PAS glaucoma
 Ischemia may be a secondary phenomenon ‘melt holes.’
 Few postulations:
 Abnormal proliferation of neural crest cells or a fetal crest of
epithelial cells
 Inflammatory endothelial proliferation
 Electron micrographic, immunohistochemical, and serologic
studies - herpes simplex virus and EBV as cause 38
39
CLINICAL PRESENTATION
 PAS: extensive in quadrant toward which
pupil is displaced
 Thinner iris stroma in opposite quadrant to
PAS
 Full-thickness iris holes
 Anteriorly projected pigmented lesions
from iris surface with multilayered
membrane
40
THREE WELL CHARACTERIZED CLINICAL
ENTITIES
 Progressive iris atrophy
 Chandler’s syndrome
 Cogan-reese syndrome
41
 Slit-lamp: ‘beaten silver’
endothelium
 Specular reflection: loss of
the normal, regular
endothelial mosaic
 Specular microscopy:
alterations in size and shape
of endothelial
42
PROGRESSIVE (ESSENTIAL) IRIS ATROPHY
 Corectopia and ectopion uvea
(synechiae lift the iris off the surface
of the lens)
 Iris dissolution - patchy
disappearance of the stroma
progresses to full-thickness holes
 ‘stretch holes’
 ‘melt holes’
 Broad patchy PAS – extend ant to
schwalbe line
43
SYNDROM
E
- Most common variant
- Marked corneal changes
- Corectopia is minimal or absent
- Endothelium - hammered silver
appearance.
44
 Iris involvement - mild and limited to superficial stromal
dissolution.
 Peripheral anterior synechiae
- not diffuse
- do not extend as far anteriorly as in progressive iris atrophy
46
THE IRIS NAEVUS (COGAN–REESE)
SYNDROME
 diffuse naevus which covers the anterior iris or iris nodules .
 Iris atrophy - absent - 50% of cases
- remainder - mild to moderate although
corectopia may be severe.
47
TREATMENT
• Hypertonic solutions or soft contact lenses
• If corneal edema produces pain or reduced vision if IOP
is reduced - penetrating keratoplasty


Goniotomy- short term sucess
Filtering surgery or glaucoma drainage devices
49
POSTERIOR POLYMORPHOUS DYSTROPHY
 Disease of corneal endothelium sometimes associated
with glaucoma
 B/L
 Inheritence: autosomal dominant trait (AR also reported)
 Defect on: long arm of chromosome 20, three different
forms PPCD 1-3
50
HISTOPATHOLOGY
 Thin descemet’s membrane covered by multiple layers of
collagen
 Cell layers resembles endothelium, epithelium or
fibroblasts
 Some cases: membrane in angle and on anterior surface
of iris
51
PATHOGENESIS
 Cause -controversial
 Analogous to ICE syndrome
 Some postulates:
Dysplastic corneal endothelium produces BM-like material
Extends into angle Onto iris Contraction of
membrane Iris atrophy, corectopia, and iridocorneal
adhesions
 developmental disorder
 Viral infection (herpes simplex)metaplasia of the
corneal endothelium
52
CLINICAL PRESENTATION

or linear arrangement of vesicles in
posterior cornea surrounded by a gray
haze
 Deep corneal stroma and DM :
 Band-like thickenings
 White patches
 Peau d’orange appearance
 excrescences projecting on AC
53
 Associated
 corneal edema
 iris atrophy
 mild corectopia
 iridocorneal adhesions
54
 Mostly non-progressive, asymptomatic
 Good vision throughout life
 Few cases: progressive corneal changes: corneal edema
 Glaucoma seen in 10–15%
 Differential diagnosis:

 Congenital glaucoma:
55
TREATMENT
 Most : need no treatment
 For edematous cornea
 Hypertonic solutions
 Soft contact lenses
 Penetrating keratoplasty (as needed)
 glaucoma - medication
- filtering surgery
56
EPITHELIAL DOWNGROWTH
Pathophysiology
 Due to entry of epithelial membrane via wound
 Proliferation over corneal endothelium, TM, anterior iris
surface, and vitreous face
 Membrane in angle contracts
 PAS
 Severe angle-closure glaucoma without pupillary block
57
58
 Most common cause - Cataract surgery (ICCE)
- penetrating keratoplasty
- glaucoma surgery
- penetrating trauma,
- unsuccessful removal of epithelial
cysts of anterior segment
59
CLINICAL PRESENTATION
 low-grade persistent
postoperative inflammation:
 conjunctival injection
 photophobia
 Cells in AC
 discomfort
 Evidence of current or past
wound leak
61
 Diagnostic finding: Hypotonic if
fistula is still functional
 Grayish white membrane with a
scalloped, thickened leading edge
on the posterosuperior corneal
surface.
 Cornea : edematous
 Iris: drawn up to old wound or
incision.
 Advanced cases:
 Painful eye with bullous
keratopathy and intractable
glaucoma 62
TREATMENT
 Difficult and unrewarding
 Techniques used are to close fistula and then to excise or
destroy epithelium
 For corneal portion of membrane: destroyed with cryotherapy
or chemical cauterization.
 Iris membrane: excised
 Cryotherapy applied to any remaining membrane on ciliary
body and retina
 En-bloc excision of all involved tissues 63
FIBROVASCULAR INGROWTH
 Occurs in an eye with open wound after penetrating
trauma or surgery
 Specially if associated with
 Hemorrhage
 Inflammation
 Incarcerated tissue
 Membrane is seen as interlacing pattern of gray
fibers(woven cloth)
64
Attributing factor:
 Invading fibroblasts to subconjunctival connective tissue,
corneal stroma, limbal tissue, metaplastic endothelium
Invading tissue grows over corneal endothelium, anterior
iris surface, vitreous face, and angle
Contraction of membrane
Formation of PAS
65
 Other factors contributing to glaucoma:
 Uveitis
 Pupillary block
 Underlying trauma
 Less virulent in course than epithelial ingrowth
66
FLAT ANTERIOR CHAMBER
After penetrating trauma or surgery
Formation of PAS
SACG without pupillary block
 Development of synechiae
 Duration of flat AC
 Degree of inflammation
 SACG common - AC remain flat for 5 days or more after
cataract extraction 67
IRIDOSCHISIS
 Patchy dissolution of iris in
which the ant stroma
separates from post stroma
and muscle layer
 rare condition
 elderly
 bilateral.
69
 Slit lamp biomicroscopy
 Shallow anterior chamber
 usually involves the inferior iris
 severity ranges from intrastromal
atrophy to disintegrated iris
fibrils
 Anterior stroma splits into
strands
 Project into AC
 Touch cornea
70
 Gonioscopy - narrow occludable angle – may be
associated with PAS.
 Treatment
 peripheral laser iridotomy.
 Subsequent treatment is aimed at limiting
glaucomatous damage.
71
2. POSTERIOR ‘PUSHING MECHANISM
a. Ciliary block glaucoma (malignant glaucoma)
b. Intraocular tumors
c. Nanophthalmos
d. Suprachoroidal hemorrhage
e. Intravitreal air injection (e.g., retinal pneumopexy)
f. Ciliochoroidal effusions (e.g., panretinal
photocoagulation)
a. Inflammation (e.g., posterior scleritis)
b. Central retinal vein occlusion
g. Scleral buckling procedure
h. Retrolental fibroplasias 72
POSTERIOR PUSHING (OR ROTATIONAL)
MECHANISM
 Peripheral iris is displaced by lens, vitreous, or ciliary body often
accompanied by swelling and anterior rotation of the ciliary body
1. Swelling of ciliary body
Rotates forward about its attachment at scleral spur
Loosens the zonules
Diminishes diameter of ciliary ring
Displaces the root of iris
Which further acts to close angle.
73
MECHANISMS:
2. swelling of anterior uveal tract (inflammation or vascular
congestion)
Narrowing of ciliary ring
Reduced tension on lens zonules
Allows lens to come forward
Displaces peripheral iris
74
3. Swelling of ciliary body is often accompanied by
accumulation of suprachoroidal and supraciliary fluid
further rotates ciliary body and iris root into angle
75
CILIARY BLOCK GLAUCOMA
 Syn:
 Aqueous misdirection
 Malignant glaucoma
 Hyaloid block glaucoma
 Posterior aqueous entrapment
 Described by von graefe 1869
 Definition: A shallow or flat AC with an inappropriately high IOP
despite a patent iridectomy
 Affects primarily patients who have narrow anterior chamber
angles 76
 Precipitating factors:
 As a complication of a filtering procedure in eyes
with pre-existing ACG or shallow AC
 Laser iridotomy
 Miotic usage
 Infectious endophthalmitis
77
PATHOGENESIS…
 Posterior misdirection of aqueous flow by a relatively
impermeable hyaloid membrane into or behind vitreous
body Increase in vitreous volume Shallower
AC Increase in IOP
Provocating factors:
 Small, crowded anterior segment
 Angle closure
 Swelling and inflammation of ciliary processes
 Anterior rotation of ciliary body
 Movement of lens-iris diaphragm forward 79
OCULAR MANIFESTATIONS
 red, painful eye: commonly after surgery for AACG
 Timing:
 Immediate- during surgery
 Months to years later
 Often corresponds to cessation by cycloplegic therapy or
initiation due to miotic drops
Slit-lamp examination
 Shallow or flat anterior chamber(central and peripheral)
 Asymmetry of AC with respect to fellow eye
 No iris bombé 80
Aqueous misdirection: flat anterior chamber despite a patent iridectomy. 81
DIAGNOSIS
 Clinical suspicion after ruling out
 Pupillary block
 Suprachoroidal hemorrhage
 Serous choroidal effusions
 Or other causes of a flat anterior chamber
 High-resolution ultrasound biomicroscopy:
 Anterior rotation of ciliary body against peripheral iris
 Forward displacement of posterior chamber intraocular
lens
 Shallow central AC 83
TREATMENT
 1st line: medical (cycloplegics and mydriatics)
 Atropine 1% and phenylephrine 2.5% QID : move lens-iris
diaphragm back and relax ciliary muscle
 Decrease aqueous production by:
 Topical β-blockers
 Oral or topical CAI
 α-agonists
 Shrink the vitreous volume. :
 Isosorbide 1.5 mg/kg orally
 Mannitol 2 g/kg intravenously over a 45-minute period
85
 No oral foods or liquids given 2 hours before and after
administration of a hyperosmotic agent
 Thus, avoid reduction in osmotic effect
 Atropine for prolonged period
 Very slow taper to avoid high risk of recurrence
 Miotic agents (contraindicated - may cause or contribute
to aqueous misdirection)
86
2nd line of treatment: laser therapy:
 Neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG)
 To create a large PI and anterior hyaloid rupture
 To release trapped aqueous from vitreous
 Re-establish normal aqueous flow
 Peripheral placement :
 Enable anterior migration aqueous
 Maximize likelihood of resolution of malignant
glaucoma.
87
 Pars plana vitrectomy
 Failed medical or laser therapy
 Phakic eyes for which laser treatment is not a good
option:
 Narrow angle in fellow eye - laser peripheral
iridectomy performed before any other surgical
procedures.
88
INTRAOCULAR TUMORS

Mechanisms:
 Direct extension of tumor into TM
 Seeding of tumor cells into outflow channels
 Obstruction of meshwork by pigment or pigment-
laden macrophages

99
CENTRAL RETINAL VEIN OCCLUSION
 Vein occlusion interferes with the venous
drainage of the uveal tract
 swelling and anterior rotation of the ciliary
body.
 transudation of fluid into the choroid, retina,
and vitreous.
 Medical treatment
 Laser gonioplasty

 encircling band - temporary interference with the venous
drainage of the uveal tract
 swelling and anterior rotation of the ciliary body and
accumulation of supraciliary and suprachoroidal fluid.
 buckle may directly compress one or more vortex veins,
leading to vascular congestion and angle-closure
glaucoma..

104
SECONDARY ANGLE CLOSURE WITH
PUPILLARY BLOCK
Lens-induced angle closure
105
PHACOMORPHIC GLAUCOMA
 abnormal lens either
compromises the lens–iris
channel (pupillary block) or
mechanically pushes the
peripheral iris forward into the
angle structures.
 intumescent cataracts - crowd
the anterior chamber
 swelling, dislocation or
subluxation –laser iridotomy
106
Intumescent and swollen lens
 Increased pupillary block - develop slowly with an age-
related cataract or rapidly with a traumatic, swollen
cataract.
 Unilateral and resembles PACG
 Definitive treatment - cataract extraction.
 Iridotomy
107
ECTOPIA LENTIS :
Displacement of lens from its normal anatomical position
Forward displacement
Iris bombe
Shallowing of the anterior chamber angle
Pupillary block
Secondary angle closure. 109
CLINICAL PRESENTATION:
 Acute:
 Pain
 Conjunctival hyperemia
 Loss of vision
 Chronic ACG:
 PAS formation secondary to repeated attacks
110
TREATMENT
 Long term treatment with miotic agents to prevent
forward movement of lens.
 Treatment of choice to relieve pupillary block :
 Two laser iridotomies (180° apart) pupillary block
 Definitive t/m: lensectomy
 Lens extraction- Indication:
 to restore vision
 to reduce risk of recurrence of pupillary block 111
APHAKIC OR PSEUDOPHAKIC ANGLE-
CLOSURE GLAUCOMA
 Extensive adhesions of the
iris to the vitreous face -
produce pupillary block and
secondary angle-closure
glaucoma
 Iridectomy is not patent,
occluded, or omitted
 Adherence of the iris to an
intraocular lens (IOL)
112
 With anterior chamber lenses the
optic may form a ball valve type seal
over the pupil while the haptic covers
the iridectomy.
 Iridectomies spaced far enough apart
to prevent the haptics from occluding
the openings
113
MICROSPHEROPHAKIA
 Congenital
 Spherical or globular lens
 Often familial
 May occur as an isolated condition
 Or as part of either Weill-Marchesani or Marfan syndrome.
 Can cause ectopia lentis and subsequent pupillary block and
ACG
lens (arrow) is trapped anteriorly by pupil,
resulting in iris bombe and dramatic shallowing of AC
114
TREATMENT
 Cycloplegia
 tighten zonule, flatten lens, and pull it posteriorly,
breaking pupillary block
 Miotics may worses the condition by
 Rotating ciliary body forward
 loosening the zonule
 Allowing lens to become more globular

secondary angle closure glaucoma

  • 1. SECONDARY ANGLE CLOSURE GLAUCOMA SRISTI THAKUR 2ND YEAR RESIDENT LEI, NAMS 1
  • 2. CONTENTS  Definition  Mechanism  Anterior pulling mechanism  Posterior pulling mechanism  Diagnosis  Treatment 2
  • 3. SECONDARY ANGLE CLOSURE GLAUCOMA  Caused by impairment of aqueous outflow secondary to apposition between the peripheral iris and the trabeculum.  Related or identifiable ophthalmic condition is known to be present with the onset of angle closure : “secondary” ACG 3
  • 4. Two fundamental mechanisms:  Anterior pulling mechanism: peripheral iris pulled forward onto TM by contraction of a membrane, inflammatory exudate, or fibrous band  Posterior pushing mechanism: peripheral iris is displaced forward by lens, vitreous, or ciliary body 4
  • 5. CLASSIFICATION 1. Anterior ‘pulling mechanism: Contraction of an inflammatory, hemorrhagic, or vascular membrane, band, or exudate in the angle PAS Forward displacement of lens-iris interface Often accompanied by swelling and anterior rotation of ciliary body 5
  • 6. ANTERIOR ‘PULLING MECHANISM a. Neovascular glaucoma b. Iridocorneal endothelial syndromes (e.g. Chandler’s syndrome) c. Posterior polymorphous dystrophy d. Epithelial down growth e. Fibrous ingrowth f. Flat anterior chamber g. Inflammation 6
  • 7. NEOVASCULAR GLAUCOMA Secondary glaucoma resulting from neovascularization of anterior segment, including iris and angle often associated with retinal hypoxia. SYNONYMS 1. Hemorrhagic glaucoma 2. Thrombotic glaucoma 3. Rubeotic glaucoma 4. Congestive glaucoma 5. Diabetic hemorrhagic glaucoma 9
  • 8. NEOVASCULAR GLAUCOMA (NVG)  Primary initiating events : hypoxia and poor retinal capillary circulation  Begins as formation of new vessels  Ends with fibrovascular membranes migrating over drainage angle, potentially leading to end-stage glaucoma 10
  • 9. HISTORY 1906  Coates , NVI in CRVO termed as RUBEOSIS IRIDIS 1937  Kurtz , NVA leading to PAS formation 1963  Weiss et al, coined the term NEOVASCULAR GLAUCOMA 11
  • 10. 12
  • 11. ETIOLOGY Diabetic retinopathy (M.C.C) CRVO/CRAO Ocular ischemic disease Carotid artery occlusive disease • 36% cases : arise from CRVO • 32% : proliferative diabetic retinopathy • 13% : carotid artery occlusive disease 13
  • 12. PATHOGENESIS  Theory of angiogenesis factor:  Michaelson 1948 Postulated existence of “X factor”, a vasoformative factor which controlled development of new vessels  Folkman et al Isolated a soluble substance from a solid neoplasm capable of producing neovascularisaton and popularised the term “tumor angiogenesis factor” 16
  • 13.  VEGF (Vascular endothelial growth factor)  Potent angiogenic stimulator  Has role in both normal and pathologic angiogenesis  Also known as “vascular permeability factor” as induces vascular hyperpermeability and endothelial cell proliferation  Four isoforms: 1. VEGF121 2. VEGF165 - most abundant form in most tissues 3. VEGF189 4. VEGF206 17
  • 14.  Lens and vitreous acts as mechanical barriers and also releases vaso inhibitory factors  So any complicated cataract sx PCR, APHAKIA more predisposition  VEGF synthesised by all tissues in retina, mainly MULLERS CELL.  VEGF conc 50-100 times more in aqueous humour in NVG 18
  • 15. 19
  • 16. Muller cells –primary source in conditions of retinal ischemia Retinal capillary or venous obstruction Hypoxia of retinal cells Production of vasoformative factor Diffuses anteriorly Stimulates iris angiogenesis 20
  • 17.  Theory of vasoinhibitory factors (VIF):  Source of VIF : Vitreous, lens and retinal pigment epithelial cells  Risk increased by vitrectomy and lensectomy 22
  • 18. CLINICAL PRESENTATION  Pain; Reduced vision  Congested eye  A/C reaction  Elevated IOP < 40 mmHg  Mid-dilated, non reactive pupil  Rubeosis irides (NVI)  Neovascularization of the angle (NVA)  Ectropion uveae 23
  • 19. Features Normal vessels New vessels Location Iris stroma Pupillary margins Angles Arrangement Regular Irregular Appearance Tortuous Thin Course Radial Arbourising Character Not fenestrated Fenestrated Scleral spur Not cross Crosses Flouroscein No leakage leakage 24
  • 20. (A)Pre-glaucoma stage with new vessels appearing at pupillary margin and in angle. (B)Open-angle glaucoma stage with new vessels spreading and fibrovascular tissue covering angle. (C)Heavy neovascularization and extensive peripheral anterior synechiae. (D) Regression stage with angle sealed and vessels less visible 25 Stages of neovascular glaucoma.
  • 21. DIAGNOSIS:  Gonioscopy: vitally important to detect in early stage as NVA can occur without NVI  Strong association with CRVO Treatment of choice  Clear media : Panretinal photocoagulation  Cloudy media  Prevent laser therapy  Panretinal cryotherapy - alternative to Vitrectomy to clear the media with endophotocoagulation  Or subsequent panretinal photocoagulation  Anti -VEGF 33
  • 22. IRIDOCORNEAL ENDOTHELIAL (ICE) SYNDROME  Group of disorders characterized by abnormal corneal endothelium  Usually includes-  iris atrophy  corneal edema  secondary angle-closure glaucoma without pupillary block 35
  • 23. Cause: Abnormal corneal endothelium forming a membrane over anterior surface of iris and angle structures Contraction of this membrane Distorts iris and closes angle 36
  • 24. In Variants:  In early to mid adult life  whites > blacks  women > men  U/L > B/L (fellow eye may have subclinical abnormalities) 37
  • 25. PATHOGENESIS  Defect site: corneal endothelium – dysfunction corneal edema  Corneal endothelium elaborates a membrane contracts forms PAS glaucoma  Ischemia may be a secondary phenomenon ‘melt holes.’  Few postulations:  Abnormal proliferation of neural crest cells or a fetal crest of epithelial cells  Inflammatory endothelial proliferation  Electron micrographic, immunohistochemical, and serologic studies - herpes simplex virus and EBV as cause 38
  • 26. 39
  • 27. CLINICAL PRESENTATION  PAS: extensive in quadrant toward which pupil is displaced  Thinner iris stroma in opposite quadrant to PAS  Full-thickness iris holes  Anteriorly projected pigmented lesions from iris surface with multilayered membrane 40
  • 28. THREE WELL CHARACTERIZED CLINICAL ENTITIES  Progressive iris atrophy  Chandler’s syndrome  Cogan-reese syndrome 41
  • 29.  Slit-lamp: ‘beaten silver’ endothelium  Specular reflection: loss of the normal, regular endothelial mosaic  Specular microscopy: alterations in size and shape of endothelial 42
  • 30. PROGRESSIVE (ESSENTIAL) IRIS ATROPHY  Corectopia and ectopion uvea (synechiae lift the iris off the surface of the lens)  Iris dissolution - patchy disappearance of the stroma progresses to full-thickness holes  ‘stretch holes’  ‘melt holes’  Broad patchy PAS – extend ant to schwalbe line 43
  • 31. SYNDROM E - Most common variant - Marked corneal changes - Corectopia is minimal or absent - Endothelium - hammered silver appearance. 44
  • 32.  Iris involvement - mild and limited to superficial stromal dissolution.  Peripheral anterior synechiae - not diffuse - do not extend as far anteriorly as in progressive iris atrophy 46
  • 33. THE IRIS NAEVUS (COGAN–REESE) SYNDROME  diffuse naevus which covers the anterior iris or iris nodules .  Iris atrophy - absent - 50% of cases - remainder - mild to moderate although corectopia may be severe. 47
  • 34. TREATMENT • Hypertonic solutions or soft contact lenses • If corneal edema produces pain or reduced vision if IOP is reduced - penetrating keratoplasty   Goniotomy- short term sucess Filtering surgery or glaucoma drainage devices 49
  • 35. POSTERIOR POLYMORPHOUS DYSTROPHY  Disease of corneal endothelium sometimes associated with glaucoma  B/L  Inheritence: autosomal dominant trait (AR also reported)  Defect on: long arm of chromosome 20, three different forms PPCD 1-3 50
  • 36. HISTOPATHOLOGY  Thin descemet’s membrane covered by multiple layers of collagen  Cell layers resembles endothelium, epithelium or fibroblasts  Some cases: membrane in angle and on anterior surface of iris 51
  • 37. PATHOGENESIS  Cause -controversial  Analogous to ICE syndrome  Some postulates: Dysplastic corneal endothelium produces BM-like material Extends into angle Onto iris Contraction of membrane Iris atrophy, corectopia, and iridocorneal adhesions  developmental disorder  Viral infection (herpes simplex)metaplasia of the corneal endothelium 52
  • 38. CLINICAL PRESENTATION  Variable  Most typical physical finding: cluster or linear arrangement of vesicles in posterior cornea surrounded by a gray haze  Deep corneal stroma and DM :  Band-like thickenings  White patches  Peau d’orange appearance  excrescences projecting on AC 53
  • 39.  Associated  corneal edema  iris atrophy  mild corectopia  iridocorneal adhesions 54
  • 40.  Mostly non-progressive, asymptomatic  Good vision throughout life  Few cases: progressive corneal changes: corneal edema  Glaucoma seen in 10–15%  Differential diagnosis:  Fuchs’ corneal dystrophy  Congenital hereditary corneal dystrophy  Axenfeld’s syndrome  Congenital glaucoma: 55
  • 41. TREATMENT  Most : need no treatment  For edematous cornea  Hypertonic solutions  Soft contact lenses  Penetrating keratoplasty (as needed)  glaucoma - medication - filtering surgery 56
  • 42. EPITHELIAL DOWNGROWTH Pathophysiology  Due to entry of epithelial membrane via wound  Proliferation over corneal endothelium, TM, anterior iris surface, and vitreous face  Membrane in angle contracts  PAS  Severe angle-closure glaucoma without pupillary block 57
  • 43. 58
  • 44.  Most common cause - Cataract surgery (ICCE) - penetrating keratoplasty - glaucoma surgery - penetrating trauma, - unsuccessful removal of epithelial cysts of anterior segment 59
  • 45. CLINICAL PRESENTATION  low-grade persistent postoperative inflammation:  conjunctival injection  photophobia  Cells in AC  discomfort  Evidence of current or past wound leak 61
  • 46.  Diagnostic finding: Hypotonic if fistula is still functional  Grayish white membrane with a scalloped, thickened leading edge on the posterosuperior corneal surface.  Cornea : edematous  Iris: drawn up to old wound or incision.  Advanced cases:  Painful eye with bullous keratopathy and intractable glaucoma 62
  • 47. TREATMENT  Difficult and unrewarding  Techniques used are to close fistula and then to excise or destroy epithelium  For corneal portion of membrane: destroyed with cryotherapy or chemical cauterization.  Iris membrane: excised  Cryotherapy applied to any remaining membrane on ciliary body and retina  En-bloc excision of all involved tissues 63
  • 48. FIBROVASCULAR INGROWTH  Occurs in an eye with open wound after penetrating trauma or surgery  Specially if associated with  Hemorrhage  Inflammation  Incarcerated tissue  Membrane is seen as interlacing pattern of gray fibers(woven cloth) 64
  • 49. Attributing factor:  Invading fibroblasts to subconjunctival connective tissue, corneal stroma, limbal tissue, metaplastic endothelium Invading tissue grows over corneal endothelium, anterior iris surface, vitreous face, and angle Contraction of membrane Formation of PAS 65
  • 50.  Other factors contributing to glaucoma:  Uveitis  Pupillary block  Underlying trauma  Less virulent in course than epithelial ingrowth 66
  • 51. FLAT ANTERIOR CHAMBER After penetrating trauma or surgery Formation of PAS SACG without pupillary block  Development of synechiae  Duration of flat AC  Degree of inflammation  SACG common - AC remain flat for 5 days or more after cataract extraction 67
  • 52. IRIDOSCHISIS  Patchy dissolution of iris in which the ant stroma separates from post stroma and muscle layer  rare condition  elderly  bilateral. 69
  • 53.  Slit lamp biomicroscopy  Shallow anterior chamber  usually involves the inferior iris  severity ranges from intrastromal atrophy to disintegrated iris fibrils  Anterior stroma splits into strands  Project into AC  Touch cornea 70
  • 54.  Gonioscopy - narrow occludable angle – may be associated with PAS.  Treatment  peripheral laser iridotomy.  Subsequent treatment is aimed at limiting glaucomatous damage. 71
  • 55. 2. POSTERIOR ‘PUSHING MECHANISM a. Ciliary block glaucoma (malignant glaucoma) b. Intraocular tumors c. Nanophthalmos d. Suprachoroidal hemorrhage e. Intravitreal air injection (e.g., retinal pneumopexy) f. Ciliochoroidal effusions (e.g., panretinal photocoagulation) a. Inflammation (e.g., posterior scleritis) b. Central retinal vein occlusion g. Scleral buckling procedure h. Retrolental fibroplasias 72
  • 56. POSTERIOR PUSHING (OR ROTATIONAL) MECHANISM  Peripheral iris is displaced by lens, vitreous, or ciliary body often accompanied by swelling and anterior rotation of the ciliary body 1. Swelling of ciliary body Rotates forward about its attachment at scleral spur Loosens the zonules Diminishes diameter of ciliary ring Displaces the root of iris Which further acts to close angle. 73
  • 57. MECHANISMS: 2. swelling of anterior uveal tract (inflammation or vascular congestion) Narrowing of ciliary ring Reduced tension on lens zonules Allows lens to come forward Displaces peripheral iris 74
  • 58. 3. Swelling of ciliary body is often accompanied by accumulation of suprachoroidal and supraciliary fluid further rotates ciliary body and iris root into angle 75
  • 59.

Editor's Notes

  1. When discrete causative factors are known – such as PAS following laser trabeculoplasty for primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG)1,2 – such cases can be conceptualized as ‘secondary angle-closure glaucomas’, and etiologic mechanisms identified according to the explanatory model elaborated below.
  2. Post pushing-gas is injected into the vitreous cavity to repair a retinal detachment, displacing the lens–iris diaphragm sufficiently forward to close the angle. This can happen despite the presence of a patent iridotomy.
  3. Shaffers .. Rubeosis iridis refers to new vessels on the surface of the iris regardless of the state of the angle or the presence of glaucoma.
  4. 36% cases : arise from CRVO 32% : proliferative diabetic retinopathy 13% : carotid artery occlusive disease
  5. In npdr if there are large areas of capillary non perfusion.. Neovascular glaucoma may present anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 years following a central retinal vein occlusion.82 However, the condition often presents about 3 months after central retinal vein occlusion: hence its reputation as the ‘100-day glaucoma’. Younger patients with central retinal vein occlusions often have associated vascular diseases, such as hypertension or one of the collagen vascular disorders.

  7. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a dimeric glycoprotein of approximately 40 kDa, is a potent, endothelial cell mitogen that stimulates proliferation, migration and tube formation leading to angiogenic growth of new blood vessels. It is essential for angiogenesis during development; the deletion of a single allele arrests angiogenesis and causes embryonic lethality.. VEGF206 and VEGF189 bind very tightly to heparin and, thus, remain sequestered in the extracellular matrix. VEGF165 binds heparin with less affinity, but also can be associated with the matrix, and VEGF121 lacks heparin-binding capacity, rendering it highly soluble. VEGF receptor activation requires dimerization

  14. Collectively, ICE syndrome describes a group of disorders characterized by abnormal corneal endothelium that is responsible for variable degrees of iris atrophy, secondary angle-closure glaucoma in association with characteristic peripheral anterior synechiae (PAS), and corneal edema.
  15. Viral theory is attractive and might explain the unilaterality of this syndrome in the vast majority of patients

  27. Fibrovascular ingrowth can occur from pars plana incisions, as well as from more anterior ones.259 In some cases the ingrowth resembles a vascu-lar stalk that enters the eye through an old wound and then fans out over the anterior segment. In other cases the ingrowth forms a gray-white membrane posterior to the corneal endothelium, with-out an obvious entry site or a vascular stalk.
  28. better to prevent fibrovascular ingrowth than to treat the condition once established. In the past this condition was a com-mon finding in eyes enucleated after cataract surgery or trauma.. With current microsurgical techniques, fibrovascular ingrowth is encountered far less often. The glaucoma associated with fibrovascular ingrowth is usually managed by medical therapy. In some cases posterior glaucoma drainage device implantation or cyclophotocoagulation is required to control IOP.
  29. trabecular meshwork is functional behind the apparent PAS; that is, the synechiae are bridging rather than closing the angle if the duration of tissue approximation is short enough. If medical treatment is inadequate, a laser trabeculoplasty can be considered if at least one-third to one-half of the angle is open. However, the clinician must be aware that a sustained post-laser IOP rise may necessitate filtering surgery. Other alternatives include filtering operations, cyclodestructive procedures, and surgi-cal goniosyneechialysis of the PAS
  30. term ‘malignant glaucoma’ is not related to the pathophysiology of the condition and is often frightening to patients who believe they have a malignancy of the eye. The term ciliary block or malignant glaucoma refers to a spectrum of atypical angle-closure glaucomas that share several essential fea-tures. 266,305,306
  31. Angle closure glaucoma..anterior cha,ber
  32. If the angle is open or has been opened prophylactically via a laser iridectomy before the development of an angle-closure attack, aqueous misdirection seems less likely to occur after subsequent surgery.[2
  33. . A high index of suspicion is necessary to make the appropriate diagnosis, since initially the IOP may not be elevated much. The key is that the IOP is elevated and the anterior chamber is axially shallow. Furthermore, if an attempt is made to reform the anterior chamber postoperatively through the paracentesis site using a viscoelastic substance, a great deal of posterior resistance may be noted, the anterior chamber may not deepen as much as in a hypotonic eye that does not have aqueous misdirection, and the IOP may rise substantially.
  34. relaxing and widening blood vessels so blood can flow more easily to the heart…isosorbide
  35. Neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) laser may be used in aphakic and pseudophakic patients to create a large peripheral iridectomy and anterior hyaloid rupture to release the trapped aqueous from the vitreous and re-establish normal aqueous flow.
  36. If there is corneal-lenticular contact there is the risk of corneal decompensation; therefore, the chamber should be reformed by the injection of a viscoelastic substance via a 30-gauge cannula through the original paracentesis at the slit lamp following Nd:YAG laser hyaloidectomy.[1] The risk of aqueous misdirection may be reduced in the fellow eye after iridectomy if the angle remains open and the IOP is normal; failure to provide prompt therapy to the fellow eye has been reported to result in bilateral blindness
  37. In most cases, glaucoma occurs when the melanoma is already large, and enucleation is the appropriate therapy. There have been a few reports of surgery for angle-closure glaucoma in eyes that were determined later to harbor undetected melanomas.363–365 At times, iris melanomas invade the angle and cause secondary angle closure without pupillary block (Fig. 16–12).
  38. If the diagnosis of metastatic disease is uncertain, a paracentesis can be performed, and the cells can be examined histologically. In most cases enucleation is not warranted for metastatic disease, and medical treatment is instituted to control IOP and relieve the patient’s symptoms. Some metastatic tumors are responsive to radiation therapy.
  39. Nanophthalmic eyes with normal IOPs and open angles should be followed carefully for signs of progressive angle narrowing. If narrowing occurs, a laser iridectomy should be performed. Topical -adrenergic antagonists, 2-adrenergic ago-nists, prostaglandins and topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitors are prescribed for elevated IOP. Because these patients often tend to be young, oral carbonic anhydrase inhibitors are often not toler-ated well. Miotic agents lower IOP in some nanophthalmic eyes but raise pressure in others, presumably by allowing the lens to move forward; it is best to avoid them here. Systemic corticoster-oids have little effect on the uveal effusions 384 If laser and medical treatments are inadequate to control angle-closure glaucoma, some authorities recommend surgically unroofing at least two vortex veins to relieve venous obstruction. Other authorities recommend creating permanent drainage sites for suprachoroidal fluid in two to four quadrants
  40. Histopathologic examination of these globes reveals a thickened sclera with abnormal sclerocytes, an abnormal arrange-ment of collagen, an abnormal glycosaminoglycan metabolism, and an accumulation of proteoglycans.379–382
  41. The effusion acts as an acutely developing posterior mass that displaces the lens–iris diaphragm, possibly by trans-vitreal pressure
  42. Topical b-adrenergic antagonists, a2-adrenergic agonists, and topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitors are administered to control IOP.
  43. The fluid acts like an acutely developing posterior mass that displaces the lens–iris diaphragm… cycloplegic agents, topical corticosteroids, b-adrenergic antagonists, topical a2-adrenergic agonists, topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, and hyperosmotic agents
  44. Occasionally - ocular discomfort or headache
  45. This theory is supported by ultrasound studies demonstrating ciliary body thickening after PRP. Photocoagulation may break the blood–ocular barriers and cause a transudation of fluid into the retina, choroid, and vitreous. This fluid may act as an acutely developing mass and displace the lens–iris diaphragm forward. Pupillary block may contribute to the development of glaucoma in some cases…- cycloplegic agents, topical corticosteroids, prostaglandins, topical b-adrenergic antagonists, topical alpha2-adrenergic agonists, and topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitors
  46. the Greek etymology refers to ‘lens-shape’ or ‘lens-form’.. , except for the presence of an intumescent lens and a normal anterior chamber depth in the fellow eye. Pupillary block may not be the sole mechanism of angle closure because the enlarging lens may also push the peripheral iris forward into the angle…. If cataract extraction is not possible because of extenuating circumstances (e.g., gravely ill patient) or must be delayed,.. Iridotomy may not be curative in all cases, especially those in which direct pressure from the lens is playing a greater role than is pupillary block.

  48. ). This occurs most often with anterior chamber lenses, but can be seen with posterior chamber and iris-supported lenses as well, especially in eyes in which the iridectomy was omitted or occluded
  49. pseudophakic pupillary block - vigorous pupillary dilation to break the posterior synechiae. If this is inadequate, pupillary dilation can be augmented by laser photomydriasis (pupilloplasty),433 where multiple intense, focused argon laser applications are applied to the 12 o’clock margin of the pupil radially for 2–3 mm, thereby stretching the pupil into a ‘tear-drop’ shape and often breaking the block.
