Core Tip
Core Tip: Roberts syndrome (RS) is an extremely rare disease characterized by a combination of deformities in the lower and/or upper extremities in association with other organ abnormalities. We provide here the first reported case of RS associated with bilateral congenital glaucoma. Bilateral non-penetrating glaucoma surgery was performed to control intraocular pressure and the outcome was excellent.
