ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Iris mammillation is a rare disease characterized by the distribution of multiple nodules on the iris surface. The course of uveitic glaucoma with iris mammillation has never been reported. CASE PRESENTATION A 56-year-old woman, who presented with unilateral decreased vision, visited our hospital for treatment of uveitic glaucoma in the right eye. Multiple nodules were scattered over the iris surface in that eye. This case was diagnosed as iris mammillation on clinical findings. After excluding malignant tumors such as melanoma, trabeculectomy was performed. The resected iris had no pathologically malignant findings. The iris nodules evolved to a sand-like appearance, and the intraocular pressure remained stable without recurrent inflammation 7 years after trabeculectomy.CONCLUSIONS:
In a case of unilateral uveitic glaucoma with iris mammillation, filtration surgery was performed after excluding the presence of a malignancy, and the long-term postoperative course has been stable.Palabras clave
