Abstract: | Iridocorneal Endothelial (ICE) Syndrome refers to a group of three similar entities consisting of a combination of abnormalities to the corneal endothelium and iris. Approximately 50% of all patients who present with an ICE syndrome will later develop secondary angle closure glaucoma which is often refractory to conventional therapy. The following case report presents a patient with essential iris atrophy and secondary angle closure glaucoma. The clinical features of the disease, mechanisms of secondary glaucoma, and management strategies will be discussed. |
