Coming soonMalignant glaucoma, also known as aqueous misdirection or ciliary block glaucoma, is a severe form of secondary angle-closure glaucoma affecting the ocular visual system.
It characteristically arises as a postoperative complication of incisional or laser intraocular surgery—most frequently in patients with pre-existing angle closure, hyperopia, or nanophthalmos—though it can occasionally develop spontaneously.
The condition is pathophysiologically driven by the posterior diversion of aqueous humor into or behind the vitreous body.
This misdirection generates elevated posterior segment pressure that pushes the lens-iris diaphragm anteriorly, producing hallmark uniform shallowing or flattening of both the central and peripheral anterior chambers alongside normal to severely elevated intraocular pressure despite a patent peripheral iridotomy.
