Malignant glaucoma is one of the most serious complications of intraocular surgery, which in the natural course results in loss of vision in a short peroid of time. Closure of the drainage angle at the time of surgery and axial hypermetropia is related to increased risks. Despite established common risk factors, malignant glaucoma continues to present a rare condition with challenging management, which might perhaps be the fact that the exact mechanism behind its etiology is not yet understood. Diagnosis may be delayed right at the beginning, resulting in a delay in administering optimal medical therapy. Response to medical therapy may not be significant in many eyes and surgical management remains difficult and controversial. Through this case we reported, some of the important features and problems that may be encountered during the management of malignant glaucoma will be shown. We performed pars plana vitrectomy, phacoemulsification and secondarily intraocular lens implantation, without a patent communication between the posterior and the anterior chambers. In the light of modern microsurgical techniques, reversal of malignant glaucoma can be attained with preservation of good visual acuity and intraocular pressure (IOP) control.
