Abstract

Background: primary infantile glaucoma, commonly termed congenital glaucoma or trabeculodysegenesis, is an unusual, inherited congenital anomaly of the trabecular meshwork and anterior chamer angle which leads to obstruction of aqueous outflow, increased intraocular pressure, and optic nerve damage. Primarycongenital glaucoma is a worldwide diagnostic and therapeutic challenge.  Although medical management is often a temporizing measure, early surgical intervention is the definitive treatment.
