Idiopathic elevated episcleral venous pressure (IEEVP), also known as Radius-Maumenee syndrome, is a rare condition which can pose a diagnostic and management challenge for clinicians. Filtration surgery is often required due to medical treatment proving ineffective. We describe to our knowledge the first case of familial Radius-Maumenee syndrome in a father and son duo. Primary management using a glaucoma drainage device is an effective option in addition to being a safer alternative when compared to trabeculectomy. Patients will require rigorous monitoring in the post-operative period to reduce the risk of complications.
