  • Title: Angle-closure glaucoma in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus.
    Author: Wagemans MA, Bos PJ.
    Journal: Doc Ophthalmol; 1989 Aug; 72(3-4):201-7. PubMed ID: 2483134.
    Abstract:
    A patient is described known with ITP, who developed an attack of angle-closure glaucoma secondary to posterior scleritis. This condition reacted well to corticosteroid treatment and antiglaucomaleus therapy serologically SLE was highly probable. In fundo there was the picture of a central retinal vein occlusion. Later the patient developed neovascularisation of the optic disc, which did not diminish after panretinal photocoagulation. In spite of cryocoagulation, a vitreous haemorrhage resulted.
