Congenital Refractory Glaucoma: A New Ophthalmic Association of Kabuki Syndrome and its Management With Glaucoma Drainage Devices

Discussion: This case confirms congenital glaucoma as a rare association of KS, and highlights the potential high-risk nature of such cases. In our opinion, the presence of high levels of inflammation perioperatively and postoperatively is an indication for primary glaucoma drainage device surgery given the high risk of bleb scarring resulting in recurrent surgical revisions. In view of these observations, we also advocate the use of intensive postoperative anti-inflammatory therapy.
