title: Anterior megalophthalmos with pigmentary glaucoma.
abstract: 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.
