Bilateral primary congenital glaucoma in monozygotic twins.

Primary congenital glaucoma is an uncommon pediatric ocular disease contributing to a disproportionately high percentage of childhood blindness worldwide. This case report describes bilateral primary congenital glaucoma in monozygotic twins who first presented to an ophthalmologist in Ethiopia at 6 years of age. Both had severe, protracted disease, with only moderate improvement after surgical intervention. [J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus 2010;41:124-126.]
