Salim S; Shields MB; Walton DJournal of Pediatric Ophthalmology & Strabismus 2006; 43: 308-310
The iridocorneal endothelial syndrome is an important and unusual cause of acquired glaucoma in adults. We report its occurrence in a child who presented with glaucoma. The patient required glaucoma surgery, and a goniotomy and trabeculectomy were performed. The patient's clinical findings and the results of surgeries are described.
