[Congenital glaucoma and thymomegaly: clinical and immunological characteristics].

A comprehensive examination of children with thymomegaly and congenital glaucoma revealed systemic and local humoral immunological disorders mainly as immunodeficiency, a family history of the disease, susceptibility to infections and allergic diseases, the presence of malformations, severe glaucoma, and a complicated postoperative period, which are suggestive of the defective state of the immune system, which should be kept in mind while making a surgical treatment and using an immunomodulator therapy, by exercising a great caution. Such children require observations by a pediatrician, an oculist, and an immunologist and consultations given by other specialists.
