Abstract

Phacomatoses are a group of neurocutaneous disorders characterized by vascular and pigmentary birthmarks, often involving multiple organ systems. Klippel–Trenaunay syndrome (KTS), a rare phacomatosis, is characterized by the classical triad of cutaneous capillary hemangiomas, venous malformations, and soft tissue overgrowth. Glaucoma secondary to angle dysgenesis, raised episcleral venous pressure, or excess angle pigmentation is observed. We report a case of KTS that presented with cutaneous capillary hemangiomas and limb hypertrophy along with unilateral buphthalmos. This eye was noted to have persistent tunica vasculosa lentis and persistent pupillary membrane with pupillary block glaucoma that was treated with pupilloplasty. To the best of our knowledge, this mechanism of glaucoma in KTS has not been reported before. The purpose of this article is to document this rare presentation as well as highlight the importance of detecting the underlying mechanism for appropriate management.
