    Abstract:
    Oculodermal melanocytosis (nevus of Ota) is an abnormally large accumulation of pigment in ocular tissues as well as the skin in the distribution of the trigeminal nerve. Elevated intraocular pressure is a serious complication of this disease, as well as transformation to malignant melanoma. We report a case of nevus of Ota, documented clinically and histopathologically, associated with severe chronic glaucoma.
