Abstract
Traumatic glaucomas are a very heterogeneous group of entities due to a variety of mechanisms which increase the
intraocular pressure in the early or late phase after traumatic injury. Glaucoma after closed globe injury is a major
concern because many cases may go unnoticed and are diagnosed many years later as having irreversible glaucomatous
optic nerve damage.[1,2] Angle recession is one of the causes for late onset posttraumatic glaucoma; this condition may
be underdiagnosed because the onset is often delayed and because a history of eye injury may be distant or forgotten.
