[Goniotomy in congenital glaucoma].
Sixty eyes presenting with congenital glaucoma and operated on by goniotomy, have been followed-up for 1 to 30 years (mean 10.4 years). Intraocular pressure was normalized in 91 p. cent of cases, either by goniotomy alone with or without medical treatment, or by goniotomy with an associated fistulizing operation, if necessary. When preoperative intraocular pressure is less than 40 mmHg, 2 cases out of 3 are normalized, but when it is more than 40 mmHg, only 1 case out of 3 is normalized.
