Diffuse congenital hemangiomatosis with infantile glaucoma.
A white male infant was born with multiple hemangiomas of the skin and mucous membrane. At 7 months of age he exhibited the signs and symptoms of infantile glaucoma in each eye, but goniotomy was not possible because of vascularity in the angles. Cyclocryotherapy was used on multiple occasions to control intraocular pressure until a goniotomy could be done safely in one eye. The other eye has had good control of intraocular pressure without operation.
