Background

WAGR syndrome is a rare congenital disorder, occurring in approximately 1 in 500,000 to 1,000,000 individuals, often presenting with ocular malformations such as aniridia.

eye pressure was far above the normal range

n = 1,000,000 individuals

More results

Glaucoma frequently develops when the iris and angle structures are affected, posing a significant risk of vision loss.

We report a one-year and seven-month-old patient who presented with corneal opacity of the left eye.

The patient underwent immediate combined trabeculectomy-trabeculotomy.

More results

Multiple interventions and close monitoring are frequently required due to the risk of scarring and postoperative complications.

Conclusion

Despite pressure control, visual outcomes often remain poor due to structural anomalies and the challenges inherent to pediatric patients with this rare syndrome.
