Glaucoma involves a characteristic optic neuropathy, often with elevated intraocular pressure. Before 1850, poor vision with a normal eye appearance, as occurs in primary open-angle glaucoma, was termed amaurosis, gutta serena, or black cataract. Few observers noted palpable hardness of the eye in amaurosis. On the other hand, angle-closure glaucoma can produce a green or gray pupil, and therefore was called, variously, glaucoma (derived from the Greek for glaucous, a nonspecific term connoting blue, green, or light gray) and viriditate oculi. Angle closure, with palpable hardness of the eye, mydriasis, and anterior prominence of the lens, was described in greater detail in the 18th and 19th centuries. The introduction of the ophthalmoscope in 1850 permitted the visualization of the excavated optic neuropathy in eyes with a normal or with a dilated greenish-gray pupil. Physicians developed a better appreciation of the role of intraocular pressure in both conditions, which became subsumed under the rubric “glaucoma”.

First Case

An 88-year-old female presented with redness in the left eye of one-month duration. On examination, the left eye showed 3 mm of proptosis with dilated and tortuous episcleral vessels and relative afferent pupillary defect. Intraocular pressure was 60 mmHg and showed open angles on gonioscopy with cup disc ratio of 0.8 in OS. A diagnosis of secondary open-angle glaucoma due to elevated episcleral venous pressure (EVP) was made. Magnetic resonance venogram revealed thrombosis of transverse and sigmoid sinus on the left side. This is the first case report of secondary open-angle glaucoma due to elevated EVP following thrombosis of transverse and sigmoid sinus.

Abstract Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) provides a safe option for individuals with mild to moderate open-angle glaucoma to reduce their need for pharmacologic therapy or more extensive ab externo surgeries. In this report, we describe a surgical technique using both the Kahook Dual Blade and Gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT), to treat a 23-year-old active duty female with idiopathic uveitis and subsequent corticosteroid-induced glaucoma who presented with consistently elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements despite maximal pharmacologic interventions. This combination was effective in consistently lowering intraocular pressure for at least 12 months in a young, phakic, active duty patient with uveitis and steroid-responsive open-angle glaucoma.
