OBJECTIVE To elucidate long-term surgical outcome of trabeculotomy ab externo in the treatment of developmental glaucoma. METHODS Included in this retrospective study are 116 eyes of 71 patients with developmental glaucoma. We classified patients into three groups based on their age: congenital (33 eyes), existing before age 2 months; infantile (31 eyes), occurring from ages 2 months to 2 years; and juvenile (52 eyes), age 2 years or older. RESULTS A life-table analysis showed that the total success probabilities at 5 and 10 years with one or more trabeculotomy ab externo operations were, respectively, 92.5% +/- 2.7% and 76.5% +/- 6.2%. The success probability of patients with congenital glaucoma (60.3% +/- 15.9%) was significantly lower than it was for those with infantile (96.3% +/- 3.6%) or juvenile (76.4% +/- 7.5%) glaucoma (P < .01 for both). CONCLUSIONS Surgical results of trabeculotomy ab externo remain effective for a long time. Congenital glaucoma has the worst prognosis, and infantile glaucoma has a better prognosis than does juvenile glaucoma.

D005901	Glaucoma	An ocular disease, occurring in many forms, having as its primary characteristics an unstable or a sustained increase in the intraocular pressure which the eye cannot withstand without damage to its structure or impairment of its function. The consequences of the increased pressure may be manifested in a variety of symptoms, depending upon type and severity, such as excavation of the optic disk, hardness of the eyeball, corneal anesthesia, reduced visual acuity, seeing of colored halos around lights, disturbed dark adaptation, visual field defects, and headaches.

The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.
