title: Fellow Eye in Unilateral Primary Congenital Glaucoma.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  This is a report of the incidence of bilateral cases in a cohort of primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) cases and a study of the biometric characteristics of the fellow normal eyes in unilateral cases.
  
  
  METHODS
  The charts of 134 PCG children were reviewed, of which 78 cases (58.2%) were found to have bilateral disease. The remaining 56 patients (41.8%) with unilateral disease had their fellow normal eyes compared with an age-matched cohort of ophthalmologically free children.
  
  
  RESULTS
  There were no differences between the normal fellow eyes of PCG cases and the control eyes in the corneal diameter and central corneal thickness (CCT), whereas the normal fellow eyes of PCG cases had higher intraocular pressure (IOP) and cup/disc (C/D) ratios.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The fellow eyes of apparently unilateral PCG cases are not typically normal anatomically like other children unaffected by PCG.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  A very high index of suspicion has to be kept for PCG cases that present apparently unilaterally, and meticulous prolonged follow-up is mandatory.
