Özet
Malignant glaucoma (also known as aqueous misdirection syndrome) is a rare and serious eye condition characterized by a sudden and significant increase in intraocular pressure that usually affects only one eye. This condition can be triggered by surgical or medical treatments and can lead to vision loss or even blindness if left untreated. This report seeks to enhance our understanding of malignant glaucoma by presenting a challenging case in which differential diagnosis was difficult. Through this case, we will review the key clinical features, risk factors, and treatment options associated with malignant glaucoma.
