Abstract

Case report: A case of a patient of 12 years old with megalocornea and bilateral pigment dispersion syndrome is reported. An ultrasound biomicroscopic study was performed with the UBM 840 (Zeiss-Humphrey, 50 MHz) and an iris concavity with an iridolenticular and iridozonular contact was observed. A new exam after pilocarpine instillation drops showed the resolution of the iris concavity, zonular and lenticular contact.

Discussion: The anterior chamber configuration of this patient analyzed with ultrasound biomicroscopy allowed us to understand the mechanism of the pigment dispersion syndrome.
