Histologic examination of ten leaking filtering blebs revealed an epithelial tract running from the surface of the bleb down to the episclera in eight cases. These epithelial tracts were considered the real cause of the persistent leakage.
Congenital glaucoma may be associated with other developmental disorders and particularly with neurofibromatosis. A baby girl, with unilateral buphthalmus, thickening of the upper eye lid on the same side and café au lait spots on her body lost this eye in spite of repeated interventions. Histological examination revealed the presence of neurofibromatic and congenital glaucoma changes in the eye. There was no neurofibroma in the angle area which could have caused glaucoma. Glaucoma was due to failure of normal development of the angle.
