Anterior megalophthalmos with pigmentary glaucoma.
OBJECTIVE
To describe the ocular findings and clinical characteristics of two sisters having anterior megalophthalmos with megalocornea and pigmentary glaucoma.


METHODS
A complete ophthalmological examination was performed.


RESULTS
Megalocornea and transillumination defects of the irides were observed associated with deep anterior chambers in both cases. In these cases, a diagnosis of anterior megalophthalmos with pigmentary glaucoma was made.


CONCLUSIONS
Anterior megalophthalmos is a rare hereditary condition. The ophthalmologist should be made aware of the many ocular findings that may be associated with megalophthalmos.
