  • Title: Juvenile glaucoma associated with goniodysgenesis.
    Author: Rodrigues MM, Spaeth GL, Weinreb S.
    Journal: Am J Ophthalmol; 1976 Jun; 81(6):786-96. PubMed ID: 937432.
    Abstract:
    Clinicopathologic studies, including electron microscopy, of trabeculectomy and peripheral iridectomy specimens from three patients with "juvenile" glaucoma revealed varying forms of maldevlopment of the chamber angle in all cases. A 20-year-old white woman (Case 1) had associated iridogoniodysgenesis with a pseudopolycoria-like iris pattern. In a 39-year-old white woman (Case 2), goniodysgenesis was associated with degenerated cell remnants in the angle "cleavage" area. A 15-year-old mentally retarded white boy (Case 3) displayed features of juvenile pigmentary glaucoma with associated goniodysgenesis and megalocornea.
