Glaucoma Associated with Anterior Segment Dysgenesis in Dogs and Cats.

Reports of glaucoma associated with anterior segment dysgenesis in dogs and cats are rare. Anterior segment dysgenesis is a sporadic, congenital syndrome with a range of anterior segment anomalies that may or may not result in congenital or developmental glaucoma within the first years of life. Specifically, the anterior segment anomalies that put the neonatal or juvenile dog or cat at high risk for the development of glaucoma are filtration angle and anterior uveal hypoplasia, elongated ciliary processes, and microphakia.
