    Abstract:
    Radius-Maumenee syndrome is a rare cause of severe secondary open-angle glaucoma. The ocular hypertension is due to episcleral venous hypertension. This syndrome consists of open angle glaucoma and episcleral venous dilatation without orbital or systemic abnormalities. It is diagnosis of exclusion after ruling out carotid-cavernous fistula, thyroid orbitopathy and an invasive orbital process that might explain the elevated episcleral venous pressure. Treatment begins with glaucoma eyedrops and, in case of failure, filtering surgery. Uveal effusion syndrome and postoperative choroidal detachment are frequent complications of filtering surgery in patients with this syndrome. We present the case report of a 59-year-old woman with Radius-Maumenee syndrome.
