[Surgical treatment of congenital glaucoma. Long-term results].

We studied 317 eyes, operated on for congenital glaucoma by Elliot, iridencleisis, goniotomy and trabeculotomy with a follow up of 5 to 35 years. Elliot and iridencleisis gave 30 to 50% intraocular pressure stabilisation and 60% bad visual results. Goniotomy gave without treatment 60% pressure stabilisation and 37% good visual results. Trabeculectomy gave 74% pressure stabilisation and 53% good visual results. Trabeculotomy gave the best results and can be considered as the most efficient operation in congenital glaucoma.

[Leber's optic neuropathy. Future prospects].

Leber's optic neuropathy is a maternally inherited disease. Its transmission does not correspond to Mendelian principles and two hypothesis about the role of cytoplasmic transmission are discussed. The role of a virus or a mutation mitochondrial DNA, maternally transmitted, are possible. However if not definite conclusion can be, actually, certified, there is a good hope to find a solution for this disease, in a near future.

[Long-term results of the treatment of glaucoma in children].

We have studied among 192 patients affected by congenital glaucoma the long term efficacy of 4 interventions. Elliot's trophination, iridencleisis, goniotomy, trabeculotomy. Trabeculotomy gives the best results and is the most suitable intervention in congenital glaucoma.
