Dr. Axenfeld-Rieger anomaly (ARA) is characterized with prominent Schwalbe’s line (posterior embryotoxon), tissue strands extending from angle to iris, iridocorneal adhesions, stromal hypoplasia, atrophy and hole formation in iris, displacement of pupil and ectropion uveae. Systemic findings such as facial, dental and cardiovascular anomalies, umbilical hernia, hypospadiasis and mental retardation are detected in addition to ocular anomalies in Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome (ARS).

We discuss the combined trabeculotomy and trabeculectomy and the strange genetic presentation in a 4 month-old baby having developmental glaucoma associated with Axenfeld-Rieger anomaly. Keywords : Axenfeld-Rieger anomaly, glaucoma, trabeculotomy,trabeculectomy
