Abstract
Primary congenital glaucoma usually presents as enlarged and hazy cornea at birth or early childhood. The diagnosis is based on a thorough clinical examination under anesthesia. Most cases require surgical intervention as the definitive treatment. In very rare instances, primary congenital glaucoma may arrest and resolve spontaneously. We describe a case of spontaneously arrested and resolved primary congenital glaucoma in a 37‑year‑old male presenting with large cornea, Haab’s striae, and normal intraocular pressure in one eye. Such a case has not been previously described from the Indian subcontinent.
