  • Title: Glaucoma in oculodermal melanocytosis.
    Author: Foulks GN, Shields MB.
    Journal: Ann Ophthalmol; 1977 Oct; 9(10):1299-1304. PubMed ID: 921151.
    Abstract:
    Case reports of oculodermal melanocytosis (nevus of Ota) and ipsilateral glaucoma often have other ocular disorders which could account for the glaucoma. It has not been clearly shown that the oculodermal melanocytosis alone can cause secondary glaucoma. In the present case report, optic nerve head and visual field changes, suggestive of a long-standing unilateral elevation of intraocular pressure, occurred in an eye with oculodermal melanocytosis and no other apparent ocular disorder to account for the chronic glaucoma.
