Abstract

Two new cases of nevus flammeus with glaucoma are added to the 61 cases previously reported. In one of the two cases reported by the author, as well as in 9 of the 13 cases mentioned in the literature in which histological findings are reported, there were angiomatous changes in the uvea. In all of the 14 cases the capillaries were found to be dilated. The author believes that an increased formation of aqueous, eventually overburdening the filtration angle, is a definite factor in bringing about increased intraocular pressure. From the Harvard Medical School, Department of Ophthalmology, and the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary. Read before the American Ophthalmological Society, in Lucerne-in-Quebec, Canada, July, 1934. 101 Bay State Road.
