Surgical outcomes of primary congenital glaucoma in children under one year from the Nile Delta

Clinical Ophthalmology Mar 18, 2021

Farid MF, et al. - In this retrospective study, researchers presented outcomes of surgical management of primary congenital glaucoma (PCG), defined as idiopathic, isolated developmental anomaly of the angle of anterior chamber which leads to sustained increase in intraocular pressure (IOP), in children less than one year of age in a population-based at the Nile Delta. Before and after surgery, all patients had their IOP, horizontal corneal diameter, and cup-to-disc ratio measured, and a minimum of 6 months of follow-up was required. The sample consisted of 26 consecutive patients (44 eyes) who underwent surgical treatment for PCG. In the Nile Delta region, surgical management of PCG younger than one year of age resulted in a high success rate with a low rate of visually significant postoperative complications. Larger studies with longer follow-up are required, however, to completely reveal the overall characteristics of PCG in the region.
