title: Atypical pigment dispersion syndrome in a child.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe the features of atypical pigment dispersion in a child.
  
  
  METHODS
  Observational case report.
  
  
  METHODS
  Retrospective chart review.
  
  
  RESULTS
  An 8-year-old boy presented with midperipheral iris transillumination defects, iris backbowing, heavy pigmentation of the trabecular meshwork, and elevated intraocular pressure. He also had several atypical features including emmetropia, mild posterior subcapsular cataract, small pupils, and peripheral anterior synechiae.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Pigment dispersion in childhood is unusual and may have different features from those classically described in adults.
