A 6-year-old girl was referred to our clinic with the diagnosis of congenital ectropion uveae and secondary glaucoma in her right eye. In the ophthalmic examination, visual acuity as measured by Snellen charts was 0.4 (with correction of -2.50 D) in the right eye and 1.0 (uncorrected) in the left eye. In the slit-lamp examination, congenital ectropion uveae was present in the right eye and the left eye was normal. Intraocular pressure was 35 mmHg (with maximum medical treatment) in the right eye and 19 mmHg in the left eye. In addition, there was also mild ptosis in the right eye. There was no systemic abnormality in the patient. The patient was treated with Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation in the right eye. Glaucoma may develop due to angle dysgenesis in patients with congenital ectropion uveae. They should be examined in a periodical manner for the early detection of glaucoma.
