| Summary: |
Benign and malignant
intraocular tumors may lead to the intraocular pressure
rise and consecutive glaucoma development. Consecutive
glaucoma diagnosis in eyes containing tumor is difficult
especially when there is hemorrhage, inflammation,
cataract or retinal detachment. The authors discuss
mechanism and cases of glaucoma in eyes with metastases,
in eyes with most common primary intraocular tumor in
adults – uveal melanoma (choroidal, ciliary body and
iris melanoma, also ring melanoma) as well as rare
tumors. Special attention was paid to neovascular
glaucoma associated with tumors. |

|
| Key words: |
secondary glaucoma,
intraocular tumors, uveal melanoma, metastases,
neovascular glaucoma. |
