Peters anomaly

Abstract

Peters anomaly is a rare form of anterior segment dysgenesis in which abnormal cleavage
of the anterior chamber occurs involving the central or entire cornea.Peters anomaly is divided into 2
types depending on whether or not the lens is abnormal. Most cases of Peters anomaly are sporadic
or autosomal recessive. They are rarely autosomal dominant.Mutations of PAX6
,PITX,CYP1B1,FOXC1 genes which are involved in ocularembryogenesis occurs .Peters anomaly
may also be associated with other ocular or systemic abnormalities. Usually, no vascularization of this
opacity occurs, which helps in distinguishing it from other causes of congenital corneal opacity. This
case is presented because of its rarity.
