Abstract
Four eyes of four children (mean age 5.5 ± 2.6 months) were operated upon for glaucoma associated with iris cyst (cysts excised 6 weeks earlier). All eyes were subjected to a combined trabeculotomy–trabeculectomy with mitomycin C once, which lowered the mean intraocular pressure (IOP) from 28.8 ± 6.5 to 14.8 ± 12.8 mmHg (mean follow-up of 15.1 ± 9.1 months). Complications included two eyes developing cataract and one eye developing a staphyloma. The eye that developed staphyloma suffered a persistently elevated IOP, was prescribed topical IOP-lowering therapy, and was classified as a failure.
