The congenital glaucoma is a strange disease whose exact incidence is difficult to determine, most of the patients are not declareed at birth because of the small production of aqueous humor in the first months. The precocious apparition has a bad prognosis, these patients have such an altered drainage that they cannot even manage the scarce quantity of aqueous humor produced by the eye of the neonate. A patient is described with congenital glaucoma diagnosed in the lactation stage whose most significant alteration turned out to be in the anteroposterior enlargement of the eyeball.
