• Pediatric Glaucoma is a heterogeneous group of disorders with unique management challenges, namely an uncommon occurrence, with restricted evaluation techniques, and young patients.

• Challenges faced in treatment plans:

      • Young eyes are more sensitive so elevated IOP can cause structural changes to the eye (e.g. buphthalmos)

     • Etiology of vision impairment is multifactorial

• Previously studied risk factors for visual impairment are unilateral disease, multiple surgeries, poor vision at diagnosis, and other ocular comorbidities.

• Chang et. al (2018) conducted a pilot study of 15 pediatric patients and examined the impact of certain predictive factors on long-term visual acuity and IOPcontrol outcomes and creating a severity scale.

    Large neurofibromas often cause significant patient morbidity and present a unique challenge to dermatologists and surgeons. Radical resection offers the lowest rate of recurrence but is not often pursued due to the high risk of intraoperative hemorrhage and difficulty in repairing large defects. Subtotal resection and debulking are more frequently performed, leading to higher rates of recurrence. This case highlights a particularly large neurofibroma and demonstrates how surgical techniques like preoperative embolization and advancement flaps can improve outcomes in the radical resection of large neurofibromas.
