Congenital glaucoma associated with cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita: two case reports.

Abstract

Two cases of cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita are described in association with nevus flammeus and congenital glaucoma. Approximately 65 cases have been reported and the association with nevus flammeus and congenital glaucoma has only been reported in one of those cases. Unlike the glaucoma associated with nevus flammeus of Sturge-Weber, this type of congenital glaucoma appears to be associated with an abnormal filtration angle rather than an increased episcleral venous pressure.
