title: Glaucomatous cupping and raised IOP: sine qua non for glaucoma?
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To present selected cases that highlight the confusions in daily glaucoma practice.
  
  
  METHODS
  Four cases with raised or normal intraocular pressure (IOP) and definite glaucomatous cupping were investigated.
  
  
  RESULTS
  While raised IOP was found in non-glaucomatous etiologies, IOP was normal in established glaucoma in a young patient.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Raised IOP and glaucomatous cupping may not be pathognomonic of glaucoma and alternative etiology should be ruled out for appropriate management.
