[Unilateral congenital glaucoma].

Abstract

The paper reports on the case of a 6-year-old child with OD congenital glaucoma and increase of the ocular globe volume with ruptures of Descemet's membrane. VARE = 1/8 non correcting, VALE = 34 mmHg, RE--divergent strabismus. The left microphthalmus with the corneal diameter of 9 mm. Normal karyotype. Trabeculectomy was performed at the right eye. Good postsurgical evolution. This is a case of phenocopy because in the development and formation of the iridocorneal angle in the sixth month of pregnancy, a series of extrinsic teratogenous factors appeared: measles, influenza, toxemia of pregnancy that produced modifications of the trabecula.
