While conducting medical aid in Mozambique, a 41 year old African male presented to our eye clinic complaining of visual impairment. The male was found to have Peters' anomaly type 2, a rare congenital ocular malformation leading to sensory amblyopia and glaucoma.

purpose: congenital corneal leukoma is rare with an incidence of 6/100000 and is one of the most important causes of amblyopia. here we report an unusual case of bilateral congenital elevated corneal leukoma. methods: we encountered a 13-day-old full term male newborn. ocular examination of both eyes revealed central elevated corneal leukomas with a narrow normal lucid interval to limbus. corne...

Peters' anomaly is usually a sporadic or autosomal recessive condition. We present three families whose members had dominantly inherited anterior segment anomalies with variable expression, including typical Peters' anomaly in at least one family member. Slit-lamp examination of parents and family members of children with Peters' anomaly is therefore important to exclude dominant inheritance.

Mutations within the RIEG1 homeobox gene on chromosome 4q25 have previously been reported in association with Rieger syndrome. We report a 3' splice site mutation within the 3rd intron of the RIEG1 gene which is associated with unilateral Peters' anomaly. The mutation is a single base substition of A to T at the invariant -2 site of the 3' splice site. Peters' anomaly, which is characterised by...

A case of bilateral Peters anomaly with missing kidney on left was examined. The case of missing kidney in Peters anomaly has not been reported in literature to our knowledge, making this case a unique one.

INTRODUCTION A case of bilateral Peters anomaly with bilateral post axial polydactyly, bilateral camptodactyly, and club foot was examined in a neonatal Kenyan baby girl of African descent who had been delivered in the hospital and admitted to the newborn unit. She died aged five days. There are no cases of Peters anomaly recorded in Africa according to a literature search. In addition, availab...

We report a case of morning glory syndrome (MGS) associated with persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV) and Peters' anomaly. A 2-day-old girl, born at term with a birth weight of 3,350 g was diagnosed with Peters' anomaly, cataract, microphthalmia, PHPV, and MGS. A right limbal lensectomy and vitrectomy with stalk cauterization was performed 8 days later. No early postoperative complic...
