Özet

Purpose: To describe the ocular findings and clinical characteristics of two sisters having anterior megalophthalmos with megalocornea and pigmentary glaucoma. Material and 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. Conclusion: Anterior megalophthalmos is a rare hereditary condition. The ophthalmologist should be made aware of the many ocular findings that may be associated with megalophthalmos.
