Angle-closure Glaucoma in a 10-year-old Girl

Anterior-Chamber Angle and Axial Length Measurements in Normal Chinese Children

“…There are only a few case reports about angle closure in children, and most cases were complicated by a congenital pupil-iris-lens membrane, by ectopia lentis, or by occurrence after cataract surgery, 11,12 whereas children with PACG are relatively rare. 13 However, the high prevalence of PACG in the Chinese population makes our work necessary, especially in those in early adulthood who are considered to be at a higher risk of developing PACG.…”

Prevalence of plateau iris syndrome in young patients with recurrent angle closure

“…Some investigators described a prevalence of 6–20% at any age, 15,16 but even these numbers might be too high. Besides some smaller case reports, 17,18 only Ritch et al 8 . systematically examined the demographics and clinical appearance of young individuals with angle closure.…”

Angle closure in younger patients

“…Angle closure is rare in children and young adults, only isolated cases and small series, primarily composed of particular entities, having been reported. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] The purpose of this study was to evaluate the demographics and clinical information for all patients in our database with angle closure who were 40 years old or younger.…”
