title: Management of glaucoma in a case of familial aniridia by trabeculectomy.
abstract: Aniridia is a rare developmental disorder. Glaucoma and complications associated with glaucoma surgery are a major cause of blindness in patients with aniridia. We describe here a case of a nine year old boy who presented with familial aniridia of both eyes along with glaucoma. He was treated by trabeculectomy of both eyes, which was successful in controlling the glaucoma.
