Risk Factors of Malignant Glaucoma Occurrence after Glaucoma Surgery by Karolina Krix-Jachym, Tomasz Żarnowski, Marek Rękas

“…Malignant glaucoma occurred more often in patients with shallow iridocorneal angle (p=0.0013). 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. …”
