Immediate results of micropulse cyclophotocoagulation in glaucoma in children

AIM: This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of micropulse cyclophotocoagulation (MP-CPC) in treatment various types glaucoma children.
 MATERIAL AND METHODS: The included 14 children (15 eyes) with uncompensated etiologies, who underwent MP-CPC using Cyclo G6 laser system (IRIDEX, USA). intervention was considered absolutely effective when IOP reached 8 25 mm Hg without medications signs progression glaucoma, relatively effective, same criteria are achieved hypotensive medications.
 RESULTS: average age at time 8.51.5 yr (from 7 months 17 yr). level before surgery 28.51.1 Hg, 3 days after (18.871.04 Hg), while absolute efficiency 14.3%, relative 100%. By end observation period (16 months; on average, 2.50.4 months), 24.41.31 (average decrease, 14.3%), 0% 66.7%. number received instillations did not change significantly amounted 3.450.22 2.910.39, respectively (p=0.167). Complications were detected six eyes (40%); all cases, appearance or increase inflammatory reaction anterior chamber observed. In addition, two (13.3%). a slight mydriasis (45 mm) developed.
 CONCLUSION: is safe for etiologies. Further research needed evaluate effectiveness long term repeated procedures achieve normal develop individual schemes MP-CPC.
