مستخلص المنشور

In this report we describe, herewith, 5 cases of ghost cell glaucoma that followed spontaneous vitreous hemorrhage complicating branch retinal vein occlusion in a phakic eye (one case), and traumatic vitreous hemorrhage (4 cases). Because intraocular pressure was uncontrolled, pars plana vitrectomy was performed to remove the reservoir of ghost cells. Vitrectomy resulted in successful control of intraocular pressure without medications and visual improvement.
