Abstract
Abstract Clinical case A 35-year-old male with unilateral ocular hypertension in the right eye (RE). Anterior segment examination of the RE showed a melanotic lesion. Intraocular pressure (IOP) was 40 mmHg in RE. Gonioscopy revealed extension into the anterior chamber angle. Excisional biopsy was performed and consistent with iris melanoma and secondary melanomalytic glaucoma. Brachytherapy was performed as adjuvant therapy. Discussion In patients presenting with unilateral glaucoma and increased pigmentation in the trabecular meshwork, it is crucial to perform imaging studies. Resection by iridectomy with adjuvant episcleral brachytherapy is effective in controlling the disease.
