Infantile glaucoma in unilateral uveal ectropion.

Two case reports are presented where a unilateral uveal ectropion was associated with congenital and late infantile glaucoma. Ipsilateral to the anterior segment anomaly a dysgenetic angle was found to be the basis of the glaucomatous process. The clinical implication that when such an iris malformation is found in a young child the possibility of glaucoma must be considered is discussed in detail.
