Purpose: To evaluate the role of ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) in the analysis of anterior chamber angle dysgenesis in patients with congenital glaucoma.
Methods: A prospective analytical study was conducted including 11 eyes with anterior segment dysgenesis. All patients underwent a complete ophthalmological examination and UBM evaluation using high-frequency probes (35–50 MHz). Morphological parameters of the anterior segment were analyzed.
Results: UBM enabled detailed visualization of anterior segment structures in all cases, revealing characteristic features of angle dysgenesis including anterior iris insertion, trabecular abnormalities, and ciliary body anomalies. UBM provided additional diagnostic information compared to clinical examination alone, particularly in cases with corneal opacity.
Conclusion: UBM is a valuable, non-invasive imaging modality for the assessment of anterior chamber angle dysgenesis. It plays a key role in understanding the anatomical mechanisms of congenital glaucoma and guiding therapeutic decision-making.
