Bilateral decompression retinopathy post trabeculectomy in developmental glaucoma - A rare case report

Abstract

Glaucoma filtration surgeries are associated with a series of complications especially when it is done in a pediatric eye where there is an anticipated panorama of challenges anatomically and surgically. We are reporting a case of developmental glaucoma which was misdiagnosed as a refractive error for a year and presented to us in an advanced glaucomatous stage for which sequential Trabeculectomy was performed, and the child developed bilateral decompression retinopathy immediately post-operatively which was dense in one eye. We are also documenting its resolution phase of 2 months which went without intervention following a conservative approach.
