    A rare case of unilateral glaucoma in a young woman was caused by an iris nevus. This tumor

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve.
    • Uncontrolled glaucoma can lead to vision loss and blindness.

    Observation:

    • A 24-year-old woman presented with uncontrolled unilateral glaucoma in her right eye.
    • The glaucoma was attributed to the diffuse growth of a nonpigmented iris nevus into the anterior chamber angle.

    Findings:

    • Histological examination distinguished the nevus cells from corneal endothelium.
    • Clinical presentation lacked heterochromia, and a tumor was not initially suspected.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering iris nevi as a potential cause of glaucoma, even without typical clinical signs.
