Digit J Ophthalmol. 2014 Jan 1;20(1):1-3. doi: 10.5693/djo.02.2013.02.005. eCollection 2014.

Abstract

We report a patient with traumatic glaucoma with features of unilateral pigment dispersion. This rare form of secondary glaucoma has only been reported twice previously, with both patients demonstrating angle recession, indicating associated damage to the trabecular meshwork. To our knowledge, this is the first such case reported in which angle recession was absent.
