Abstract

Malignant glaucoma is a term commonly used to describe a condition characterized by a sudden increase in intraocular pressure, usually occurring after eye surgery. This report describes a case of malignant glaucoma simultaneously presenting in both eyes, with no antecedent eye disease, medication or surgery. As far as we know this is the first report of spontaneous bilateral glaucoma. Both eyes were operated on according to the technique described by Chandler et al. (1), and the condition was solved. We suggest that, despite its rarity in eyes with no antecedent disease or ocular therapy, a surgeon should be aware of this condition.
