Purpose:
This case report demonstrates the potential role of the OMNI surgical system in the surgical management of congenital glaucoma.
Patients and methods:
The case was a 4-month-old full-term, otherwise healthy female infant with cutaneous hemangiomas of both upper lids, corneal edema in the right eye (RE) and IOP > 30 mmHg. Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) was diagnosed. The RE was surgically treated with ab-interno circumferential viscodilation and trabeculotomy.
Results:
Through 10 months of follow-up, intraocular pressure was adequately controlled without the need for adjunctive medical therapy.
Conclusion:
Given its advantages over other angle surgery techniques, this procedure's role in treating glaucomas of childhood warrants further evaluation.
