Normal and PCG-infants <24 months were examined, using HH AS-OCT (RTVue RT- 100, Optovue Inc., Fremont, CA). Sedation was not required. Corneal pachymetry map, ACA width and iris thickness (IT) were measured. Trabecular meshwork (TM), Schlemm's canal (SC), and scleral spur (SS) identification were assessed in both groups. Forty-eight infants; (26 PCG-eyes and 22 normal-eyes) aged 9.12 ± 6.7 months, were included. Nasal and temporal ACA width in PCG infants was found significantly larger (39.3 ± 6.6° vs. 30.4 ± 5.6, and 40.1 ± 5.3° vs. 32.5 ± 6.2 respectively) (p < 0.001). IT was significantly reduced (121.7 ± 43.9 μm in PCG-infants, vs. 160.3 ± 38.6 μm in normal-eyes) (p < 0.01). TM was identified in all normal eyes (100%) and nine (34.6%) PCG- eyes. SC was identified in 16 (72.7%) normal eyes versus four (15.4%) PCG. In PCG-eyes, an abnormal structure occluding the angle was seen in seven (26.9%), and a hyper-reflective membrane in five (19.2%), the iris was anteriorly inserted in all PCG-eyes, and iridotrabeculodysgenesis was clearly identified (with constant iris anterior insertion). The abnormal tissue obscuring the angle was seen in younger PCG-infants and iris thinning appeared to be part of the pathology, not a result of IOP elevation. Using HH AS-OCT permits tomographic examination of the ACA in PCG infants and may help in the understanding of disease pathology. Hence, may assist in optimizing treatment.
