Transient open-angle glaucoma associated with sickle cell trait: report of 4 cases

A H Friedman et al. Br J Ophthalmol. 1979 Dec.

Abstract

Four black patients, all with sickle trait (SA), developed transient open-angle glaucoma with blood in Schlemm's canal. In 3 patients the condition followed blunt trauma, while in the fourth no antecedent trauma was described. The intraocular pressure became normal in all 4 cases with the resolution of the haemorrhage from the trabecular meshwork and Schlemm's canal.
