About the Book

Congenital glaucoma is a complex problem, which has been a frequent cause of blindness in the past. Over the past decades, the prognosis of congenital glaucoma has completely changed. Surgical results are very good and enable these children to integrate entirely as adults in society. Based on the authors' accumulated experience of more than 50 years and 860 cases operated for congenital glaucoma, this well-structured and lavishly illustrated textbook-atlas covers all aspects of congenital and infantile glaucoma, such as the original method for examining new-borns under general anaesthesia in the slit-lamp, the signs and symptoms of the disease and the differential diagnosis, the role and importance of the echometry value for early diagnosis, the gonioscopy results and the three types of congenital glaucomas (pure, refractory and late) and the type of surgery to be performed in each case with the evaluation of follow-up long-term results. Written by renowned international experts of the field, this book will become the golden standard in the field of Pediatric and Congenital Glaucomas.

Review :
From the reviews: "It is a comprehensive presentation of the diagnosis, treatment, and pathology of the various causes of glaucoma in children. ... This work is intended for ophthalmologists who care for children with glaucoma. Its detailed figures and descriptions of surgical techniques make it ideal for glaucoma surgeons in training as well as practicing glaucoma specialists. ... This book provides a unique and authoritative discussion of the diagnosis and surgical treatment of pediatric glaucoma." (Monte Dean Mills, Doody's Review Service, May, 2009) "This hard-cover book ... is divided into 28 chapters on different aspects of congenital glaucoma for specialists and residents. ... The book is full of images, which makes it user-friendly... . All in all I would recommend this book, which is certainly a good asset for every glaucoma specialist to have as a reference." (Michele Iester, Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, Vol. 248, 2010) "Pediatric glaucomas is probably the most interesting and in-depth books on this topic I have ever read. ... I highly recommend Pedriatic glaucoma. Besides being a valuable tool for ophthalmologists that deal with this fascinating and difficult topic, this book is surely beneficial for all doctors in search of greater knowledge beyond our modern technological world, which often causes us to forget about the ethical, humane, and non instrumental aspects of our day-to-day clinical work."--- (Paolo Brusini, European Journal of Ophthalmology, 2011)
