Apresenta-se um caso de uma mulher de 72 anos, negra, atendida no Hospital de Clínicas da Universidade Federal do Triângulo Mineiro (HC-UFTM) com dor, sensação de pulsação, proptose, engurgitamento episcleral e quemose em olho direito, com aumento da pressão intraocular (PIO) apesar do uso de mediação anti-glaucomatosa.

Thus, any disease process that affects this drainage pathway because of structural, occlusive, compressive, or destructive physiopathology may alter the IOP.…”
