92 comfirmed cases of malignant glaucoma hospitalized from 1979 to 1989 at Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center are retrospectively studied. The risk factors and new clinical discoveries in its pathogenesis are analyzed with comments. The developments in the managements of the disease during the 10 years are summerized with recommendation of principles for its diagnosis and treatment. The authors also put forth suggestions with regard to the nomenclature and classification of malignant glaucoma.
