CASE REPORT: We performed a minimally invasive trabeculotomy using a trabectome on a 9-year-old boy with a trauma-related secondary glaucoma where the intraocular pressure (IOP) could not be controlled by conservative approaches. After a 1-year follow-up the patient showed well controlled IOP values without using drugs to reduce pressure. CONCLUSION: Trabectome surgery seems to be a suitable first step intervention for trauma-related glaucoma in selected cases, even in children.
