C/D ratio was ≤0.3 in 10 eyes and ≥0.6 in 2 eyes. Through pharmacotherapy the symptoms in 14 eyes disappeared after 2wk. One eye was diagnosed as being complicated by primary open-angle glaucoma and well treated with surgery.CONCLUSION: Glaucomatocyclitic crisis is a kind of ocular syndrome with unknown pathogenesis. It should be differentiated from primary glaucoma and uveitis clinically. Its prognosis is not absolutely benign, and the patients should be followed up regularly.
