Case #2: Child With Congenital Glaucoma


The following series of images were produced using both B-scan modes: Hi-Res 20 MHz for the anterior segment and normal 10 MHz for a view of the entire globe. Each ruler mark represents 1 mm. The young child presented with bilaterally opaque corneas and was examined with fluid standoff under anesthesia. A nearly 5 mm difference in axial lengths between the two eyes was measured.
