Abstract
We reported a case of pigmentary glaucoma in an elderly black patient, treated surgically with phacoemulsification associated with automatis ed trabeculectomy. The patient was implanted with a silicone foldable lens introduced in the capsular bag. Three months post-operatively, vi sual acuity, well restored after surgery, decreased progressively and, biomicroscopic exam revealed a pigmented cellular membrane Pathogeny of this membrane is discussed.
