A 4-month-old infant with congenital glaucoma had been treated with a topical antibiotic-corticosteroid for three months. This fact complicated initial management, delaying definitive diagnosis and therapy. Topical steroid therapy in infants can produce a condition simulating congenital glaucoma. Since there is little rationale for using topical steroids to treat most infantile external disease processes, they are best avoided. When steroids are used for a prolonged period, some strategy for detecting glaucoma should be adopted.
一名患有先天性青光眼的4个月大婴儿接受了局部抗生素 - 皮质类固醇治疗三个月。这一情况使初始治疗变得复杂，延误了明确诊断和治疗。婴儿局部使用类固醇治疗可产生类似先天性青光眼的病症。由于使用局部类固醇治疗大多数婴儿外部疾病过程的理由很少，因此最好避免使用。当长期使用类固醇时，应采用一些检测青光眼的策略。
