Bleb morphology following mitomycin-C sponge versus subconjunctival injection in deep sclerectomy for pediatric congenital glaucoma: A case report
Introduction and importance
Congenital glaucoma poses a complex surgical challenge. Mitomycin-C (MMC) is frequently used to enhance surgical success, though the optimal method of application remains debated.
Case presentation
We present a pediatric case of bilateral congenital glaucoma where two different MMC application methods were used: subconjunctival injection in one eye and sponge application in the other.
Clinical discussion
Despite initial IOP reduction in both eyes, the eye treated with sponge application showed progressive bleb thinning and compromise. The subconjunctival injection resulted in a stable, diffuse bleb with better long-term outcomes.
Conclusion
This case provides comparative intra-patient evidence favoring subconjunctival injection for improved bleb morphology and stability in pediatric glaucoma.
