| Abstract: | A 7-week-old, intact, female domestic shorthaired cat was presented to the Atlantic Veterinary College (AVC) Ophthalmology service for a 1-week history of buphthalmia in the left eye and bilateral elevated intraocular pressures. Ocular examination revealed bilateral non-visual glaucomatous eyes. Bilateral enucleations were performed without complications and histopathology revealed anterior segment dysgenesis of varying degrees in both eyes.Key clinical message:Anterior segment dysgenesis is a developmental condition that can result in primary congenital glaucoma for which the best course of treatment is enucleation. |
