Patients with craniosynostosis with subnormal vision due to papilledema and/or exposure-related corneal decompensation are well documented in the literature; however, there is only a single prior documented case of vision compromise secondary to anterior segment dysgenesis and glaucoma in this patient population. This report highlights a case of syndromic craniosynostosis with advanced corneal decompensation and anterior segment dysgenesis that was masked and ultimately delayed the diagnosis of congenital glaucoma.
