title: [Tardive congenital glaucoma in the case of brothers].
abstract: The case of a family is presented, in which mother had been operated 5 years ago for tardive congenital glaucoma, in a very advanced stage. At that moment, the examination of the eldest son had not revealed modifications of the visual acuity, eye fundus and intraocular pressure. After 5 years, the examination of the 5 children revealed tardive congenital glaucoma in a very advanced stage at the first son and in a manifest stage at the second. The obvious conclusion is to emphasize the importance of the careful periodical examination for all the descendents of a patient with congenital glaucoma.
