Abstract
• A 9-week-old child with "congenital glaucoma" was later found to have, in addition to enlarged corneas and elevated intraocular pressure, subluxated and cataractous lenses, hyphema, iridodialysis, angle recession, and vitreous hemorrhage, along with signs of gross parental neglect and physical abuse. To our knowledge, this is the first report in which a battered child with bilateral "congenital glaucoma" (probably caused by trauma) is described.
