Outcomes of Gonioscopy-Assisted Transluminal Trabeculotomy in Children with Early-Onset Glaucoma Secondary to Sturge–Weber Syndrome
Purpose
To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) in managing early-onset glaucoma secondary to Sturge–Weber syndrome (SWS).
Design
A retrospective interventional case series.
Participants
Medical records of 16 patients (22 eyes) diagnosed with early-onset glaucoma secondary to SWS who underwent GATT surgery were reviewed.
Methods
All patients underwent GATT surgery using a 5-0 or 6-0 prolene suture under general anesthesia.
Main Outcome Measures
The primary outcomes were intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction, complete surgical success (IOP ≤ 18 mmHg without medications), qualified surgical success (IOP ≤ 18 mmHg with medications), and postoperative complications.
Results
The mean IOP decreased significantly from 25.4 ± 4.8 mmHg at baseline to 15.7 ± 4.2 mmHg at the final follow-up (P < 0.001), representing a 38.19% reduction. The mean age at the time of GATT surgery was 33.6 ± 33.9 months. The mean follow-up duration was 16.3 ± 6.4 months. Complete surgical success was achieved in 45.4% of eyes (10 out of 22), while qualified success was reached in 81.8% of eyes (18 out of 22). Despite the overall success, 18.1% of eyes (4 eyes) required additional surgical interventions during the follow-up period. These included Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation in 1 eye, trabeculectomy in 2 eyes, and transscleral diode laser cyclophotocoagulation in 1 eye. Transient hyphema was the only reported complication, resolving spontaneously within 1 week without further intervention.
Conclusions
Gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy appears to be a promising surgical option for managing early-onset glaucoma in patients with SWS, offering significant IOP reduction and a favorable safety profile within the limitations of our study. However, further studies with longer follow-up periods and comparative groups are necessary to confirm these findings.
