  • Title: Primary open angle glaucoma in a case of mitochondrial encephalomyopathy (Kearns-Sayre syndrome).
    Author: Frezzotti P, Frezzotti R.
    Journal: Eur J Ophthalmol; 2005; 15(6):809-10. PubMed ID: 16329071.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: Kearns-Sayre syndrome is characterized by chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia, tapetoretinal degeneration and severe generalized myopathy. METHODS AND RESULTS: We report on a 82-year-old male patient with Kearns-Sayre syndrome with open angle glaucoma. DISCUSSION: Reports of primary open angle glaucoma with Kearns-Sayre syndrome are very rare, but it is difficult to believe that this association is merely coincidental.
