Valved Glaucoma Drainage Devices in Pediatric Glaucoma: Retrospective Long-term Outcomes.
IMPORTANCE Relatively little data exist about the long-term outcomes of an initial glaucoma drainage device (GDD) and subsequent GDDs implanted in pediatric patients with glaucoma. OBJECTIVE To determine the long-term outcomes of the first and second GDDs and risk factors in pediatric glaucoma. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Retrospective review of 119 eyes of 89 patients younger than 18...
متن کاملLate onset endophthalmitis associated with unexposed glaucoma valved drainage device.
We report an extremely rare presentation of late-onset endophthalmitis in a young adult patient with an unexposed Ahmed tube implant. The implant was inserted 11 years prior to presentation. There was no history of trauma or any obvious exposure on clinical examination and the tube plate was filled with purulent material. After aqueous and vitreous tap, the patient underwent intracameral, intra...
متن کاملGlaucoma drainage devices; past, present, and future.
Glaucoma filtration surgery (GFS) has been shown to be more eVective at preventing disease progression than other primary treatment modalities in open angle glaucoma. 2 If it were possible to avoid complications associated with poor flow control, primary GFS would probably be offered more widely. Trabeculectomy, the procedure of choice in conventional GFS, has remained essentially unchanged for...
متن کاملRetinal pigment epithelium changes in pediatric patients with glaucoma drainage devices
Purpose Retinal changes secondary to hypotony are usually described as wrinkling or folding of the inner portion of the choroid, the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), and the outer retinal layers in the macular area due to scleral wall collapse. We describe a new retinal finding in children with suspected hypotony after implantation of Baerveldt Glaucoma Implant (BGI). Observations Four patie...
متن کاملComparison of different biomaterials for glaucoma drainage devices.
OBJECTIVES To compare the inflammatory reaction associated with the insertion of silicone and polypropylene endplates and endplates made of a new biocompatible polymer, Vivathane, in the rabbit subconjunctival space. METHODS Similar-sized endplates made of 3 different biomaterials were sutured to the sclera in the superotemporal quadrant of the rabbit eye. Thirty eyes of 15 albino New Zealand...
