Abstract

Introduction: Ghost cell glaucoma (GCG) is a very rare secondary open angle glaucoma, in which there is a sustained increase in intraocular pressure (IOP) due to obstruction of the trabecular meshwork (TM) due to the passage of ghost cells (GC) from the vitreous into the anterior chamber, after a vitreous hemorrhage (VH). Clinical Case: We present the case of a male patient with a history of vitreous hemorrhage and sustained IOP elevation in the right eye (RE). Medical treatment was insufficient, for this reason surgical treatment was required. Postoperative evolution was favorable. Conclusion: This pathology should prefer the differential diagnosis of traumatic glaucomas, correlating high clinical suspicion and histological confirmation.
