Review
Childhood glaucoma represents a heterogenous group of rare ocular conditions that may result in significant sight threatening complications related to elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). It can be classified as either primary or secondary and the latter may have systemic associations. This review will be based on the work of the childhood glaucoma research network (CGRN) and will focus on the diagnosis and management of the most common types of childhood glaucoma. These include primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) and juvenile open angle glaucoma (JOAG) as well as secondary causes of glaucoma associated with non-acquired ocular anomalies (Axenfeld-Rieger anomaly; Peters anomaly and Aniridia), glaucoma associated with systemic disease (Sturge Weber syndrome and Neurofibromatosis), those due to acquired conditions (Uveitic glaucoma, trauma and tumours) and importantly glaucoma following cataract surgery.

Journal of Glaucoma Feb 2019To report a peculiar case of adult-onset buphthalmos.
PURPOSE
To report a peculiar case of adult-onset buphthalmos.
METHODS
Review of the medical record of a 24-year-old patient with Down syndrome who developed buphthalmos in the left eye after corneal transplantation for keratoconus.
RESULTS
In the next 2 years after surgery, the operated eye evolved with chronic anterior uveitis that led to progressive peripheral synechiae, oscillating intraocular pressure, cataract, graft failure, and buphthalmos.
CONCLUSIONS
The finding of buphthalmos of adult-onset in Down syndrome raises important issues concerning the classification of this eye condition and the responsibility for detecting and monitoring eyes with glaucoma in individuals with chromosome 21 trisomy.

Glaucoma as understood today could not have been detected before the means to see the optic nerve and reliably measure the intraocular pressure were available after the mid-1850s. One form, however, manifested itself as a visible enlargement of the globe and was thus recognized since antiquity. This article traces the nomenclature, signs and symptoms, and treatment of buphthalmos from the ancient Greeks to the second half of the 19th century, when the present methods began.

A 4-month-old kitten was presented with unilateral buphthalmos. The eye was blind with no menace response, but intraocular pressure was normal. A trans-palpebral enucleation was performed on the affected eye and the globe was submitted for histology. There was a suppurative, lympho-plasmacytic panophthalmitis with inflammatory exudate in the iridocorneal angle.

PURPOSE
The pediatric eye offers many inherent surgical difficulties and when associated with a large buphthalmic eyeball, acts as a challenging ground for cataract surgeons. The purpose of our study is to describe the surgical outcome of cataract surgery in 6 children with buphthalmos.
METHODS
Eight eyes of 6 children with congenital glaucoma (buphthalmos) underwent phacoaspiration with or without intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. Demographic data, history of glaucoma surgery, intraocular pressure, biometry, surgical steps, and intraoperative and surgical outcome were noted for all patients from medical records. Postoperative outcome in terms of IOL stability, centration, visual acuity, and intraocular pressure were evaluated.
RESULTS
Pediatric cataract surgery was performed in 8 eyes with buphthalmos. Implantation of IOL was possible in 7/8 eyes. Primary posterior capsulorhexis (PPC) was done in 2/8 eyes. The IOL was implanted in the bag in 3 eyes and captured in 4 eyes. Decentration of IOL occurred in 100% of eyes where PPC was performed. Membranectomy for visual axis obscuration was done in 3 eyes.
CONCLUSIONS
Standard IOLs remain stable and centered with endocapsular implantation or rhexis fixation of IOL after pediatric cataract surgery in buphthalmos. However, PPC should not be attempted in the same sitting, as it leads to decentration.

Corticosteroid-induced glaucoma is a well-recognized phenomenon in adults, but not children. We describe an infant who developed juvenile glaucoma with buphthalmos while receiving systemic steroid treatment. The intraocular pressure normalized several months following discontinuation of treatment.
