“…However, few cases of neovascular glaucoma have been reported in literature. 5 The authors came across this patient with pigmentary glaucoma and other ocular findings of Wagner syndrome which seems to be the first of its kind. A thorough PubMed search did not find any mention of such an association in literature.…”

We report a rare case of a 11 year old boy who presented for a routine check up and was found to have moderate myopia, bilateral subluxation of lens, posterior subcapsular cataracts, lattice degeneration of retina and pigmentary glaucoma simulating Wagner syndrome. Wagner syndrome is an entity initially reported in Swiss families and has similar features to our patient. However, the association of pigmentary glaucoma is a new addition to the existing knowledge of Wagner syndrome. Glaucoma reported in Wagner syndrome till date has been open angle glaucoma due to anterior segment dysgenesis or neovascular glaucoma where the exact cause has not been elucidated. Patient was diagnosed to have pigmentary glaucoma on the basis of pigment dispersion over the corneal endothelium, increased trabecular pigmentation, midperipheral iris transillumination defects, pigment on the posterior capsule of the lens and raised intraocular pressure with disc changes.

“…In the Stickler syndrome (SS) [Stickler et al, 1965;Stickler and Pugh, 1967;van -Balen and Falger, 1970;Opitz, 1972;Schreiner et al, 1973;Hall, 1974;Popkin and Polomeno, 1974;Herrmann et al, 1975;Beals, 1977;Say et al, 1977;Blair et al, 1979;Maumanee, 1979;Young et al, 1979;Regenbogen and Godel, 1980;Liberfarb et al, 1981;Nielsen, 1981;Kelly et al, 1982;Weingeist et al, 1982;Spallone, 19871 there are similar eye findings of myopia, vitreoretinal degeneration, and deafness, but these are usually associated with a more Marfanoid body habitus, mild spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, arthropathy, and a characteristic elongated face [Saksena et al, 19831, with more frequent cleft palate, short midface, and the Robin sequence. There is controversy as to whether these 2 entities are actually the same [Cohen, 1974;Baraitser, 1982;Winter et al, 19831 or separate [Zellweger, 1975;O'Donnell et al, 1976;Ayme and Preus, 19841.…”
