Posterior corneal morphological changes in primary congenital glaucoma.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To compare posterior corneal morphology between older treated and younger untreated children with primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT) and intraoperative OCT (iOCT), respectively.

Methods

In this comparative study, ASOCT of older PCG children were compared with iOCT of younger untreated PCG patients. Differences between the two groups with respect to posterior corneal morphology were studied.

Results

Observed morphological patterns within posterior cornea in older treated (age: 72-300 months) children (87 eyes) included Descemet's membrane (DM) excrescences (70%), thickened DM (35%), intracameral twin protuberances (92%), and DM detachment (26%). Changes within pre-Descemet's layer (PDL) (28%) included t
