    Summary

    Congenital ectropion uveae (CEU) is a rare iris anomaly. Early detection in infants is crucial for monitoring glaucoma and neural crest disorders.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Congenital ectropion uveae (CEU) is a rare anomaly involving iris pigment epithelium on the iris stroma.
    • CEU is often associated with neurofibromatosis and other ocular anomalies.

    Observation:

    • This study presents eight patients with unilateral CEU.
    • Seven patients developed glaucoma in the affected eye.
    • Associated conditions included neurofibromatosis, facial hemihypertrophy, Rieger's anomaly, and Prader-Willi syndrome.

    Findings:

    • The majority of CEU patients presented with glaucoma.
    • Misdiagnosis occurred in some cases, highlighting the need for accurate identification.
    • Bilateral glaucoma was observed in two patients, though CEU was unilateral.

    Implications:

    • The presence of CEU in infants necessitates ongoing monitoring for glaucoma.
    • CEU may indicate an increased risk for disorders of neural crest origin.
    • Accurate diagnosis of CEU is vital for timely management of associated conditions.
