| Abstract |
To report a case of a young patient with retinitis pigmentosa (RP), essential iris atrophy, and glaucoma. This report presents a case of a 22-year-old female patient with unilateral glaucoma, increased intraocular pressure, increased cup-disc ratio, iris atrophy, peripheral anterior synechiae, and bilateral RP. The patient presented glaucoma due to the iridocorneal endothelial syndrome, despite low age. RP is a bilateral disorder that may be associated with angle-closure glaucoma. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 January 2016.
All research outputs
#16,045,990
of 25,371,288 outputs
Outputs from Clinical Ophthalmology
#1,347
of 3,712 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#156,990
of 294,808 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Clinical Ophthalmology
#38
of 73 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,371,288 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,712 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.9. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 58% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 294,808 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 73 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
