The highest intraocular pressure was 55 mm Hg. The optic nerve was damaged with glaucomatous cupping (cup/disc ratio 0.8). The visual field presented adequate few insular scotomas. The glaucoma filtering surgery was performed: goniotrepanatio by Fronimopoulos. After the surgery in one year observation intraocular pressure was about 15 mm Hg. The perimetry showed no increase in optic disc damage. We wanted to present this case because of its rare occurrence and good results of the surgery.
