Résumé
To demonstrate the occurrence of acute hydrops in the fellow eye of infants with primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) treated for glaucoma in 1 eye. Small, observational case series. Three infants with PCG who demonstrated acute hydrops in the fellow eye after treatment of the worse eye. Intraocular pressure (IOP) was lowered surgically in 2 infants and medically in 1 infant with PCG. Two infants underwent combined trabeculotomy with trabeculectomy, and goniotomy was possible in 1 infant. Observation of the fellow eye after lowering IOP in an eye with acute hydrops. Two infants underwent glaucoma surgery in 1 eye and demonstrated acute hydrops in the fellow eye within 1 week. The third infant demonstrated acute hydrops after medically controlling IOP in 1 eye before the scheduled surgery. After surgical treatment, the stromal edema cleared completely in all 3 infants, leaving behind a small area of opacity where the Descemet's tear had healed. Our report demonstrates that the fellow eye of a patient with PCG may be at risk of sudden raised IOP resulting in acute hydrops, and early treatment may help to prevent this phenomenon in the fellow eye.
