Postoperative hyphema due to persistent tunica vasculosa lentis in glaucoma associated with neurofibromatosis —a case report

An 8-month-old girl referred from her pediatrician with a diagnosis of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) presented with an enlarged cloudy cornea of the left eye and a swollen left side of the face. Her left eye had intraocular pressure (IOP) of 21 mm Hg, corneal diameter of 16 mm, ectropion uvea, cup:disk ratio of 0.9, axial length of 28.06 mm, and S-shaped upper lid deformity. Uneventful combined trabeculotomy-trabeculectomy with mitomycin C was performed. On postoperative day 1, there was a new total hyphema that persisted for 2 weeks.
