Ghost-Cell Glaucoma

眼科

Common symptoms

眼痛、眼压升高、无晶状体眼

The pathology of disease

Ghost-cell glaucoma is secondary open-angle glaucoma caused by degenerated, rigid ghost red cells (after vitreous hemorrhage) migrating into the anterior chamber and clogging the trabecular meshwork, typically weeks after vitreous hemorrhage. Treatment: medical IOP control; anterior-chamber tap/irrigation; pars-plana vitrectomy to remove the hemorrhagic vitreous source.

Common Symptoms

Raised IOP weeks after vitreous hemorrhage; tan cells in anterior chamber; painful blurred vision

Causes and Pathogenesis

Degenerated ghost RBCs from vitreous hemorrhage enter the anterior chamber and clog the trabecular meshwork.

Treatment

Medical IOP control; anterior-chamber tap/irrigation; pars-plana vitrectomy

Preventive Measures

Treat vitreous hemorrhage; monitor IOP.
