Malignant glaucoma is an entity characterized by intraocular pressure (IOP) with a shallow anterior chamber in the presence of a patent peripheral iridectomy. In its classic form, malignant glaucoma is rare but one of the most serious complications of fistulizing surgery in patients with narrow angle or angle closure glaucoma. In this case we have a female patient who developed crisis of ciliary block glaucoma (malignant) during performance of circadian IOP curve with dynamic contour tonometer.
