J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2010 Jun 23:47 Online:e1-4. doi: 10.3928/01913913-20100618-09.

Abstract

Ocular abnormalities are common in Patau syndrome (trisomy 13), but only a few cases with congenital glaucoma have been reported, some of which were associated with other ocular defects. This report describes a case of primary congenital glaucoma in an 11-year-old patient with full trisomy 13.
