Summary
This case report details a rare instance of pigment dispersion (PD) secondary to plateau iris configuration (PIC), both conditions increasing intraocular pressure (IOP) and glaucoma risk. Management involved surgery to address the dual pathology and prevent vision loss.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Ocular Pathology
Background:
- Pigment dispersion (PD) and plateau iris configuration (PIC) are ocular conditions linked to elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) and glaucoma.
- PD occurs when iris pigment disperses, blocking the trabecular meshwork and increasing IOP.
- PIC involves anatomical variations narrowing the anterior chamber angle, increasing glaucoma risk.
