Congenital corneal opacity (Peters' anomaly) combined with buphthalmos and aniridia. 1985

R Koster, and A T van Balen

A case history of a newborn infant is discussed. At birth he showed bilateral buphthalmos with aniridia and congenital corneal opacities, agreeing with Peters' anomaly. A keratoplasty was performed. The dysgenesis mesenchymalis classification is mentioned briefly. High resolution banding technique of chromosomes revealed no abnormality.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007498 Iris The most anterior portion of the uveal layer, separating the anterior chamber from the posterior. It consists of two layers - the stroma and the pigmented epithelium. Color of the iris depends on the amount of melanin in the stroma on reflection from the pigmented epithelium.

D003315 Cornea The transparent anterior portion of the fibrous coat of the eye consisting of five layers: stratified squamous CORNEAL EPITHELIUM; BOWMAN MEMBRANE; CORNEAL STROMA; DESCEMET MEMBRANE; and mesenchymal CORNEAL ENDOTHELIUM. It serves as the first refracting medium of the eye. It is structurally continuous with the SCLERA, avascular, receiving its nourishment by permeation through spaces between the lamellae, and is innervated by the ophthalmic division of the TRIGEMINAL NERVE via the ciliary nerves and those of the surrounding conjunctiva which together form plexuses.
