title = "Transient reversible cupping in Juvenile-Onset glaucoma",
abstract = "A 17-year-old man had marked glaucomatous cupping of his left optic nerve. Two days after trabeculectomy, the appearance of the disk changed dramatically, appearing full, rather than cupped. Over the next month, with normal intraocular pressure, the optic nerve resumed its preoperative excavated appearance.",

note = "Funding Information: A 17-year-old man was referred for bilateral uncontrolled glaucoma. He had been under optometric care since 1973. In November 1977, he noticed headaches, blurred vision, and halos around lights. Air puff tonometry revealed high IOP. Ophthalmologic examination in February 1978, showed ICP of R.E.: 32 mm Hg and L.E.: 54 mm Hg by applanation tonometry. Despite therapy with miotics, epinephrine, and acetazolamide, IOP in the left eye ranged from 30 to 65 mm Hg and in the right eye from 18 to 20 mm Hg. The patient actively participated in contact sports, recalling yearly black eyes. His family and medical histories were noncontributory. Initial examination on July 31, 1978 revealed best corrected visual acuity of R.E.: 6/9 (20/30) and L.E.: 6/18 (20/60), with R.E.: -2.25 + 2.00 x 3 and L.E.: -3.25 + 1.00 x 170. External examination and motility were normal. Pupils were both miotic. Slit-lamp examination of both anterior segments revealed only mild bullous keratopathy of the left cornea. Both corneas measured 12 mm horizontally From the Glaucoma Service, Wilmer Institute, Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Maryland. This study was supported in part by Public Health Service Research Grant EY 02120 awarded by the National Eye Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland (Dr. Quigley). Dr. Robin is a Heed Foundation Fellow (1978-1979).",
