Pigmented lesion in the anterior chamber angle following multiple trans-scleral diode laser photocoagulation for congenital glaucoma

PURPOSE: To describe a child with primary congenital glaucoma found to have pigment tissue proliferation in the angle following multiple applications of trans-scleral cyclophotocoagulation. OBSERVATIONS: During examination under anaesthesia, a 4-year-old girl was found to have pigmented tissue overl...

description PURPOSE: To describe a child with primary congenital glaucoma found to have pigment tissue proliferation in the angle following multiple applications of trans-scleral cyclophotocoagulation. OBSERVATIONS: During examination under anaesthesia, a 4-year-old girl was found to have pigmented tissue overlying the trabecular meshwork. Anterior segment ocular coherence tomography confirmed mounds of abnormal tissue in the angle. CONCLUSION: Trans-scleral cyclodiode may cause iris root damage, and predispose to proliferation of pigmented tissue which covers the angle structures.
