We describe 3 cases of unilateral congenital ectropion uveae associated with ptosis and glaucoma in a syndrome with no systemic associations. Early detection of glaucoma and timely surgical intervention is required to preserve productive vision in such patients. In our case series, trabeculectomy with mitomycin C was effective in controlling glaucoma progression over a follow-up period of 5-15 years.
