PURPOSE: To describe a case of photoreceptor outer segment glaucoma (Schwartz-Matsuo syndrome) with electron microscopic evidence of photoreceptor outer segments in the trabecular meshwork (TM). DESIGN: This is a clinicopathologic case report. PARTICIPANT: A 48-year-old Filipino man. METHODS: Specimens of aqueous humor and TM in a clinical case of Schwartz-Matsuo syndrome were examined by electron microscopy. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Electron photomicroscopy. RESULTS: Electron microscopy showed evidence of retinal photoreceptor outer-segments in both an aqueous humor and a TM specimen. CONCLUSION: Schwartz-Matsuo syndrome is associated with the presence of photoreceptor outer segments in the TM.
