Despite being documented in medical history from over 2400 years ago, primary
congenital glaucoma (PCG), being a disease with low incidence rate, remains a
challenge to ophthalmologists. The article provides a broad overview on the
pathophysiology and diagnostic approach to PCG with major emphasis on the
treatment options of PCG. While reviewing on the well-established treatment
options, namely goniotomy, trabeculo-tomy and combined
trabeculotomy-trabeculectomy, emphasis has also been made to recent updates on
secondary treatments: trabeculectomy, antimetabolites, glaucoma-drainage devices
and cyclodestructive procedures. It is, however, important to note that the
rarity of PCG places limitations on study design, most studies are, thus,
retrospective, nonrandomized and have different definitions of surgical success.
Ophthalmologists need to interpret the results with critical thinking and
formulate individual treatment plans for each patient. How to cite this article:
