[Short-term results of trabeculectomy in early primary congenital glaucoma].
OBJECTIVE
Analysis of the intraocular pressure decrease caused by trabeculotomy in early primary congenital glaucoma.


METHODS
A retrospective study of 28 patients (a total of 35 eyes) with early primary congenital glaucoma hospitalized, operated and followed up in the Bucharest Clinical Emergency Ophthalmology Hospital between January 2001 - March 2004. Trabeculotomy was performed as a first surgery.


RESULTS
Therapeutic success (postsurgical intraocular pressure under 20 mm Hg) was obtained in all of the 28 studied cases.


CONCLUSIONS
Trabeculotomy is an efficient method as a first surgery in primary congenital glaucoma.
