Congenital ectropion uveae (CEU) is a rare anomaly characterized by ectropion uveae, iris hypoplasia, iridotrabecular dysgenesis and glaucoma. The apparent ectropion uveae results from the spread of iris pigment epithelium beyond the iris ruff and onto the anterior surface of the iris. CONCLUSION: Open-angle glaucoma results due to angle dysgenesis, so patients should be carefully examined periodically for its early detection.
