Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pediatrics
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is a rare histiocytic disorder primarily affecting infants.
  • Ocular involvement occurs in about 10% of JXG cases, potentially leading to severe visual impairment.

Observation:

  • Presents a case of a two-month-old infant with JXG-related secondary glaucoma.
  • Highlights the typical clinical presentation and therapeutic challenges associated with this condition.

Findings:

  • JXG-related glaucoma can cause significant and blinding eye disease.
  • Early diagnosis and management are critical for preserving vision.

Implications:

  • JXG should be included in the differential diagnosis for infantile unilateral glaucoma.
  • This case underscores the importance of recognizing cutaneous signs for early detection of ocular complications.
