Deskripsi
Uveitic glaucoma (UG) is a potentially blinding complication of intraocular inflammation and is one of the most common causes of secondary glaucoma in pediatric ophthalmology. Overall management of UG is often challenging and requires a multidisciplinary assessment and careful follow-up. The overlap with steroid-induced glaucoma (SIG) is quite common, as well as the failure of medical and surgical therapy; nevertheless, few recent papers have dealt with this topic. We review the features and the clinical approach to UG in childhood, discussing the treatments available in the pediatric population.
