Malignant Medulloepithelioma of the Ciliary Body Revealed by Neovascular Glaucoma in a 13-Year-Old Child

Abstract

Medulloepithelioma of the ciliary body is a rare congenital intraocular tumor occurring more frequently in children. It develops from the unpigmented epithelium of the ciliary body. Positive diagnosis relies essentially on anatomopathological examination. In our article, we report a case of malignant medulloepithelioma of the ciliary body in a 13-year-old child revealed by severe panuveitis complicated by neovascular glaucoma and non-axial exophthalmos.
