Abstract
Purpose/Methods:
We studied a case of an aggressive iris nevus that caused secondary glaucoma in a child.
Results/Conclusion:
Unlike most iris tumors, this tumor grew from the superior aspect of the iris. The nevus was also unusual because it invaded the trabecular meshwork and caused secondary glaucoma.
