  • Title: [Diffuse xanthogranuloma as a cause of infantile heterochromia].
    Author: Rohrbach JM, Stübiger N, Küper K, Dopfer R.
    Journal: Klin Monbl Augenheilkd; 1994 Jul; 205(1):47-9. PubMed ID: 7933911.
    Abstract:
    A 7-month-old female infant presented with a heterochromia and an anisocoria. A spontaneous hyphema and a secondary glaucoma had developed. Under topical and systemic steroid therapy the eye improved continuously. At the time of the last ocular examination the hyphema had resorbed, and the intraocular pressure was normal. Heterochromia had almost completely vanished, and dilation of the pupil was much better. Since even a massive juvenile xanthogranuloma of the iris responds well to steroids, operative and radiation treatment should be limited to cases refractory to antiinflammatory drug therapy.
