Glaucomatous optic neuropathy may be considered as an endpoint of multiple
systemic factors. Genetic conditions commonly causing glaucoma in children and
adolescents include Axenfeld-Reiger syndrome, aniridia, Marfan syndrome,
Weill-Marchessani syndrome, Sturge-Weber syndrome, Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome,
nevus of Ota, congenital rubella and neurofibromatosis type 1. In the recent
years, with the advancements in genetic research our understanding of the
fundamental causes of glaucoma associated with inherited disorders has improved.
In addition to intraocular pressure reduction, it is important for the clinician
to be familiar with the multiple systemic associations with glaucoma, to
re-evaluate treatment frequently, and to target the underlying disease process,
if present.
