Anterior pupillary block.

Two patients with post-operative adhesions between the iris and cornea are presented. The term of anterior pupillary block is suggested, and its clinical picture is described. The irido-corneal adherences appeared to be the trigger mechanism of the intraocular pressure rise and deepening of the posterior chamber. The tension was fully controlled following the rupture of these adherences. The beneficial result of a simple procedure of posterior chamber tape is mentioned.
