A child with bilateral advanced steroid-induced glaucoma and uncontrolled intraocular pressure (IOP) on maximum medical therapy underwent trabeculectomy surgery. The eye developed a dense anterior chamber inflammation with a high IOP in the postoperative period, which was managed medically. The IOP got controlled in the following visits, but the pupil remained mid-dilated, fixed, and nonreactive to pilocarpine, and a provisional diagnosis of Urrets-Zavalia syndrome was made. Urrets-Zavalia syndrome is a rare postsurgical complication characterized by a fixed dilated pupil with iris atrophy. This is the first such case reported in a pediatric patient following trabeculectomy.
