[Pigment dispersion syndrome in a patient with megalocornea].
METHODS
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.


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