Abstract:
The aim is to estimate extragenital diseases, course of pregnancy and delivery in mothers of children with congenital glaucoma and to study somatic and neurological status of these children. Extragenital comorbidity was found in 76.3% of studied women. 47.6% of women had burdened obstetric history. In the majority of cases there were complications of the present pregnancy. 30.9% of pregnancies resulted in premature birth. In 69.14% of children comorbidity was revealed. Thus the early diagnosis and treatment of comorbidity are essential in women. Treatment and rehabilitation of children with glaucoma requires multidisciplinary approach including ophthalmologist, neurologist and pediatricians.
