[Glaucoma after congenital cataract extraction in children].
The clinical material comprised 45 eyes in 33 children aged from 5 months to 8 years. In the period of 5 days to 7 years after congenital cataract surgery, an increased intraocular pressure has been observed. Antiinflammatory treatment, optic, cyclocryotherapy, synechia-lysis, anterior vitrectomy, YAG-laser and trabeculectomy were applied, depending on the mechanisms that caused the increase of intraocular pressure. In 1-5 years follow-up, the control of intraocular pressure, using the pharmacological treatment and/or surgery, was obtained in 88.4% of the cases. On admission, the enlargement of the eyeball was observed in 26.6% of children, whereas in every fifth of them the cupping of the optic disc was recorded.
