ABSTRACT

The acute angle closure or acute glaucoma as it is worldwide known is a characteristic clinical picture that is caused by sudden angle closure, It represents ophthalmological emergency that endangers the visual function if not satisfactorily solved in the first hours of occurrence. The most frequent physiopathological mechanism is primary pupil blocking and the treatment of choice is peripheral laser iridotomy. The differential diagnosis must be made with the secondary pupil blocking and with other causes without pupil blocking in which iridotomy is not enough. The acute angular closure is generally unilateral, although it may appear bilaterally and be caused by the use of drugs that give rise to pupil dilation like the clinical case which was described here.
