Congenital Glaucoma causing Blindness in a Child: Responsibility of a Witch Doctor
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 11
Abstract
Congenital glaucoma is a challenging disease both for ophthalmologists and parents. It is a sight-threatening disease if not diagnosed early and treated in an appropriate way. Present at birth, it may be overlooked by medical practitioners. The only effective treatment is surgery. Witch doctors cannot cure the disease; conversely they compromise the prognosis. Keywords: Congenital, glaucoma, Blindness, witch doctor.
