In which of the following, intraocular pressure is very high and inflammationis minimum?: (A) Glaucomatocyclic crisis, (B) Acute iridocyclitis, (C) Hypetensive uveitis, (D) Angle closure glaucoma
Answer is A. (Ref: Khurana 7th/e p.175 & 4th/e p.160) Glaumatocyclic crisis Glamatocyclitic crisis (Posner - Schlossman syndrome) is a unilateral recurrent non-granulomatous iritis that associated with an elevated ocular pressure during the attacks. This self-limiting condition tends to occur in persons. A mild inflammatory reaction is very rarely present as evidenced by a few keratic precipitates on the posterior surface of the cornea. Many patients (55%) subsequently develop open angle glaucoma.
