Weill-Marchesani syndrome

Weill-Marchesani syndrome (WMS) is a rare condition characterized by short stature, brachydactyly, joint stiffness, and characteristic eye abnormalities including microspherophakia, ectopia of the lens, severe myopia, and glaucoma.

This case is important because it demonstrates that mid-dilatation and cycloplegia can induce acute glaucoma in patients with the Weill-Marchesani syndrome and points out the importance for considering the diagnosis of Weill-Marchesani syndrome in any case of acute glaucoma in childhood.
