ULTRASONOGRAPHIC FINDINGS OF THE OPTIC DISC IN CONGENITAL GLAUCOMA

A 2-month-old female infant with intractable congenital glaucoma and d iffuse corneal opacification underwent trabeculectomy with 5-fluoroura cil (5-FU) injection in both eyes followed by penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) combined with partial cyclocryotherapy in the right eye. The la tter procedure was undertaken despite the B-scan ultrasonographic find ing of extensive optic disc cupping in order to provide the infant wit h some degree of improved visual function. The anatomic and functional results are discussed.
