    Author: Ramos Suárez A, Ayet Roger I, Serra Castanera A.
    Journal: Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol; 2017 Aug; 92(8):394-397. PubMed ID: 28522113.
    Abstract:
    CASE REPORT: The case concerns a 22 day-old male child with juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG), which manifested as a unilateral glaucoma and with fibrinous haemorrhagic exudate in the anterior chamber affecting the angle of the right eye. Despite a high level of suspicion, the definitive diagnosis was not possible until the infant reached the age of 10 months, after the appearance of the skin lesions typical of this condition and histopathological study of them. CONCLUSION: JXG is a rare disease, characterised by yellowish skin lesions on the trunk, neck, or head. Up to 10% of cases will have ocular involvement, which is the most common extracutaneous manifestation of the disease.
