Abstract
Childhood cataract may occur in association with ocular comorbidities involving cornea, angle structures, and/or iris. These abnormalities may include congenital glaucoma and anterior segment dysgenesis. These associated abnormalities may alter presentation and management of these conditions. In this chapter, we will discuss these two entities in separate section. They have been clubbed together since anterior segment dysgenesis is associated with glaucoma in significant number of cases and few cases of presumed primary congenital glaucoma may actually be secondary to anterior segment dysgenesis.
