Overview
A recurrent condition of unilateral attacks of markedly elevated intraocular pressure (30–60 mmHg) associated with mild anterior uveitis (trabeculitis). Also known as glaucomatocyclitic crisis. Between attacks the eye is normal. The elevated IOP is disproportionate to the minimal inflammation. Must be distinguished from primary angle closure glaucoma and herpetic uveitis.
