| description | Aim. Retrospective analysis of clinical profile, etiology, and treatment strategies of childhood glaucoma. Materials and methods. Medical reports of childhood glaucoma patients from January 2002 to December 2013 were analyzed. The ratio of various disease types and treatment pattern were studied. 143 patients (210 eyes) aged 4.8±0.4 years (on average) were enrolled. 59.4% (85) were boys, and 40.6% (58) were girls. 81 patients (56.6%) had bilateral disease. Results. Primary congenital glaucoma was the most common type of childhood glaucoma (60.8%). In 70.1% of cases, the disease was bilateral. The second most common type was uveal glaucoma (9.8%), the third most common type was primary juvenile glaucoma (6.3%), the fourth most common type was traumatic glaucoma (5.6%). In general, trabeculotomy, trabeculectomy, and combined trabeculotomy-trabeculectomy (with or without subconjunctival Ologen implantation) was performed for primary congenital glaucoma. Conclusions. According to Zarifa Aliyeva National Eye Center reports, primary congenital glaucoma, uveal glaucoma, and primary juvenile glaucoma are the most common types of childhood glaucoma in Azerbaijan. When comparing with literature data, primary congenital glaucoma pattern is similar to western countries. |
