Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a connective tissue metabolic disorder with autosomal inheritance. Ocular involvement includes blue sclera, myopia, glaucoma and keratoconus in addition to bone synthesis defects. We report the case of a male patient with OI who suffered from progressive visual field defects and advanced glaucomatous optic atrophy and underwent trabeculectomy on both eyes. Intraocular pressures (IOP) of 7-11 mmHg were measured 1 year postoperatively. This report illustrates peculiarities in the surgical therapy of open angle glaucoma in patients with OI as well as the options for complication management.Entities:
