A case of 12-year-old male with Seckel syndrome, presented with unilateral glaucoma leading to advanced disc damage hence, visual deterioration. Seckel syndrome being a rare inherited disorder characterized by growth delay and unique facial features, had been infrequently reported for ophthalmic anifestation especially glaucoma. Though glaucoma is a rare association in Seckel syndrome, screening at an early stage could help in preventing vision loss.
