Abstract
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.
