The authors present the case of a patient diagnosed with the Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome, which was discovered at the age of nineteen during a medical examination at the Ophthalmology Clinic in order to establish his medico-military situation. The youngster's mother presents the same anomaly, fact which demonstrates the hereditary transmission of this disease. It must also be mentioned the fact that when he was diagnosed, the patient presented a relatively good visual acuity, that he had not developed secondary glaucoma and besides he associated the presence of bilateral hypoacusis.
