[Congenital glaucoma].
Congenital glaucoma is a rare and very polymorphous condition. Recent major advances in the pathogenesis, the genetics, the clinical diagnosis and the treatment of the disease have contributed to radically improve its prognosis. The diagnosis and the monitoring of a child with a congenital glaucoma are part of a multidisciplinary care approach where surgery is predominant and which must aim both to normalize the intraocular pressure in the long term and to attempt to improve the development of the visual function through a careful and lasting treatment of the associated functional amblyopia.
