Abstract
- Grant`s syndrome is an uncommon form of secondary open angle glaucoma in which trabecular precipitates without significant anterior chamber inflammation is characteristic and gonioscopy may often reveal irregular peripheral anterior synechiae which often attach to the trabecular precipitates. Grant`s syndrome may be confused with primary open angle glaucoma and glaucomacyclitic crisis. However primary open angle glaucoma has no trabecular precipitates and glaucomacyclitic crisis has no trabecular precipitates and peripheral anterior synechia. We have experienced one case of Grant`s syndrome in which elevated intraocular pressure was present associated with inflammatory precipitates on the trabecular meshwork and peripheral anterior synechia without significant anterior chamber inflammation. We report this case with review of available literature.
