Congenital ectropion uveae and glaucoma.

R Hertzberg

    Australian and New Zealand Journal of Ophthalmology
    |February 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Congenital ectropion uveae, a rare eye condition, is strongly linked to glaucoma development. This case highlights associated features like ptosis and a late-onset dental defect in a patient monitored for 18 years.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Genetics
    • Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Congenital ectropion uveae is a rare condition characterized by the outward rolling of the iris's uveal layer.
    • It can affect one or both eyes and is often associated with other congenital anomalies.
    • Glaucoma is a consistent finding in patients with congenital ectropion uveae upon follow-up.

    Observation:

    • This report details an 18-year follow-up of a patient with bilateral congenital ectropion uveae.
    • The patient also presented with bilateral ptosis, a known associated feature.
    • Notably, the patient developed asthma and a dental defect later in life.

    Findings:

    • The study confirms the strong association between congenital ectropion uveae and the development of glaucoma.
    • It expands the spectrum of associated conditions to include late-onset asthma and dental defects.
    • Bilateral congenital ectropion uveae and ptosis were present from birth.

    Implications:

    • Early and consistent glaucoma screening is crucial for patients diagnosed with congenital ectropion uveae.
    • The findings suggest a broader genetic or systemic influence in congenital ectropion uveae beyond previously described associations.
    • This case underscores the importance of long-term multidisciplinary follow-up for rare congenital conditions.
