Corticoteroid-induced glaucoma can result from either topical or systemic corticosteroid use. Compared with adults, the corticosteroid response in children is less well known. The case is reported of a child who developed glaucoma after receiving topical corticosteroids following a scleral reinforcement procedure. The raised intraocular pressure was controlled after cessation of the corticosteroids and with the use of antiglaucoma therapy. As many forms of cortico-steroids are widely used, children on corticosteroids should have regular intraocular pressure measurements as part of their management.
皮质类固醇性青光眼可由局部或全身使用皮质类固醇引起。与成年人相比，儿童对皮质类固醇的反应了解较少。本文报告了1例儿童在巩膜加固术后接受局部皮质类固醇治疗后发生青光眼的病例。停用皮质类固醇并使用抗青光眼治疗后，眼压升高得到控制。由于多种形式的皮质类固醇被广泛使用，接受皮质类固醇治疗的儿童应定期测量眼压，作为其治疗管理的一部分。
