METHODS： This is a retrospective study. Forty-two eyes of 26 patients with primary congenital glaucoma were enrolled, Intraocular pressure （lOP）, corneal diameter （mm） and cup/disc （C/D） were measured before and after the surgery respectively. Follow-up period was 30mo. RESULTS： The mean preoperative lOP was 30.6：1：7.35 mm Hg. Of the 42 eyes, 2 eyes were required conversion to trabeculectomy for the absence of Schlemm＇s canal. Of remained 40 eyes, 38 eyes （95%） achieved successful lOP control. The average postoperative lOP was 11.69±4.18 mm Hg at 12mo. The mean reduction was 18.91 mm Hg （P〈0.00Ol）. Eighteen （75%） eyes presented a reduction in corneal diameter, and 25 （62.5%） eyes presented a C/D ratio reversal after the surgery. There was no serious complication in any patients over the follow-up period. CONCLUSION： Viscocanalostomy combined with trabeculotomy and mitomycin C is useful in the management of primary congenital glaucoma,展开更多
