Filtering surgery with use of 5-fluorouracil (5FU) was performed in 5 eyes (4 patients) with inflammatory glaucoma to prevent filtering bleb scarring. Postoperative injections of 5FU were given once or twice a day, according to the degree of anterior chamber inflammation. Complete remission of the uveitis was achieved in all 5 eyes after 7-14 days of postoperative injections of 5FU. There were no recurrences of uveitis during a minimum of 8 months of follow-up.
