RESUMO
The author affirms the existence of the mixed forms of glaucoma, starting from the glaucoma classification according to the gonioscopic criterium. He shows that this classification is based on the anatomic constitution and the angle cannot be open and closed at the same time. The so-called mixed glaucomas are, in fact, either different evolution stages of one of the two forms admitted or secondary glaucomas.

A child of 4 years old presents cicatricial toxoplasmic chorioretinitis, hydrocephaly and neurological disturbance. The titre of serous anticorps antitoxoplasma have been presented at 1/10. The child doesn't fix the objects, he presents nystagmus of fixation. Being in the presence of a case of congenital toxoplasmosis sequela stadium, it is not necessary a treatment.

The author reports on the case of a 7-year-old child who, following and uveitis, presented an opacity in a band over the cornea at the level of the palpebral slit. Opacity of the cornea affected the superficial layers and epithelium of the cornea, Bowman's membrane and lamellae of the subjacent parenchyma, with calcar concretions within the thickness of the opaque band. The pathogenesis of this secondary dystrophy of the cornea is discussed.
