Phacomorphic glaucoma, often linked to cataracts, can mask underlying conditions like choroidal melanoma. Early ultrasonography in these cases is crucial for detecting intraocular tumors and guiding treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Phacomorphic glaucoma is characterized by mature cataract, anterior chamber shallowing, and angle-closure glaucoma.
  • Opaque ocular media in these patients often prevents posterior segment visualization.

Observation:

  • A 65-year-old man presented with reduced vision and symptoms consistent with phacomorphic glaucoma.
  • Preoperative ultrasonography identified an intraocular tumor.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging revealed characteristics suggestive of choroidal melanoma.

Findings:

  • Histopathologic examination confirmed choroidal melanoma after enucleation.
  • This case highlights that phacomorphic glaucoma can be associated with choroidal melanoma.

Implications:

  • Ultrasonography or other imaging modalities are recommended for phacomorphic glaucoma with opaque media.
  • Timely detection of intraocular mass lesions is essential for appropriate surgical management.
