“…There have been several excellent reports about this clinical entity and its association with glaucoma [3][4][5]. In our patient ectropion uveae was diagnosed at birth with no tendency of progression during the following 15 years of life, thus supporting the suggestion of a nontractive ectropion.…”

“…In contrast to acquired tractive uveal ectropion in neovascular glaucoma or iridocorneoendothelial syndrome, primary congenital ectropion uveae does not progress. Association with neurofibromatosis, facial hemihypertrophy and Prader-Willi syndrome is well documented [4]. An abnormal migration of neural crest cells is supposed to induce this anterior segment malformation with dysgenetic signs of the angle structures often reported.…”

“…An abnormal migration of neural crest cells is supposed to induce this anterior segment malformation with dysgenetic signs of the angle structures often reported. Severe unilateral glaucoma occurs with high frequency [4,5]. Dysgenetic alterations of the posterior ocular segment in association with congenital ectropion uveae have not been described as yet.…”

Primary congenital ectropion uveae is an extremely rare ocular malformation frequently associated with unilateral glaucoma. We report on a 15-year-old boy with unilateral congenital ectropion uveae, glaucoma and transvitreal strands in an optically empty vitreous. Dark adaptation was normal, but scotopic ERG showed subnormal b-wave amplitudes in the affected eye, which is a typical finding in hereditary vitreoretinal degenerations. The coincidence of primary congenital ectropion uveae and unilateral vitreoretinal degeneration without a family history seems to be sporadic and very extraordinary but could be due to a common defect of maturation.

“…Glaucoma is frequently found with CIE, but not always. An abnormal migration of neural crest cells is thought to induce this anterior segment malformation with dysgenetic signs of the angle structures [1,2]. Although the actual anomaly is nonprogressive, multiple studies have shown the progression of open-angle glaucoma due to angle dysgenesis [2][3][4][5][6].…”

Congenital iris ectropion associated with juvenile glaucoma

Congenital iris ectropion is an uncommon malformation of the anterior segment of the eye. The authors describe a case of bilateral congenital iris ectropion associated with juvenile glaucoma in an otherwise healthy 9-year-old girl. Intra-ocular pressure (IOP) measured by Goldmann applanation tonometry was 40 mmHg in the right eye and 32 mmHg in the left eye. Despite maximum IOP lowering therapy, the desired IOP levels needed to prevent further progression of the glaucoma could not be achieved. Visual field testing and confocal scanning laser tomography showed glaucomatous neuropathy. Trabeculectomy with antimetabolites (mitomycin C 0.2 mg/ml) was performed in both eyes and IOP was normalized without IOP lowering medications during a follow-up of 4 years. The authors point out the importance of recognizing congenital iris ectropion early to prevent blindness in young patients and improve their prognosis.
