Abstract
Congenital glaucoma may be associated, secondary or primary. Primary congenital glaucoma is due to the persistance in the anterior chamber angle of embryonic mesodermal tissue. Its inheritance is autosomal-recessive, sex-controlled and variable in penetrance. The treatment is surgical, goniotomy being as good as trabeculotomy.Entities:
