Pigment-induced glaucoma secondary to bilateral diffuse uveal melanocytic proliferation

We report the first case of pigment-induced glaucoma in a patient presenting with bilateral diffuse uveal melanocytic proliferation (BDUMP) syndrome. Despite treatment with plasma exchange, the patient developed progression of her lesions and bilateral glaucoma. Surgical treatment with Ahmed valve implant was performed to control her increased intra-ocular pressure. This case demonstrates that BDUMP can be a cause of a refractory pigment-induced glaucoma.
