Juvenile Open-angle Glaucoma With Waardenburg Syndrome: A Case Report.
Summary
Elevation of the intraocular pressure has been reported in several adult patients with WS.
Abstract
Waardenburg syndrome (WS) is a genetic disorder resulting in anomalies of derivatives of neural crest cells during development. Patients tend to have variable degrees of pigmentary defects affecting skin, hair, and irides in addition to hearing loss and possible systemic neurological associations. Elevation of the intraocular pressure has been reported in several adult patients with WS. We report the first case of WS to be associated with juvenile open-angle glaucoma in a 20-year-old Egyptian man thus expanding the spectrum of the types of glaucoma that can coexist with the syndrome.
