[A family with glaucomatous excavation but without glaucoma].
The authors present the case of a family consisting of eight members (belonging to three generations). Among them there are three cases with increased glaucomatous excavation (C/D 0.7-0.8) but normal visual field and ocular blood pressure. Their clinical tracking, till the age of 16, excepts the possibility of glaucoma in these cases, only a genetically transmitted abnormality being implied.
