Peters' anomaly (PA) is a rare form of anterior segment dysgenesis characterized by corneal opacity with varied degree of anterior chamber affection with associated defects in the posterior layers of the cornea.
We report the case of a 3-month-old male infant with bilateral corneal opacity since birth who was transferred from the pediatric unit for further ophthalmic care. He was diagnosed with PA with subsequent systemic-associated malformations including craniofacial defects and skeletal defects. He was managed minimally with topical mydriatics and antiglaucomatous drugs.
PA is an inevitable cause of blindness in developing countries due to poor infrastructure and limited resources.
彼得斯异常(PA)是一种罕见的眼前段发育异常形式,其特征为角膜混浊,并伴有不同程度的前房受累以及角膜后层相关缺陷。
我们报告了一名3个月大的男婴病例,该男婴自出生以来双眼角膜混浊,从儿科转入接受进一步眼科治疗。他被诊断为PA,随后出现了包括颅面缺陷和骨骼缺陷在内的全身相关畸形。对他进行了最小化治疗,使用了局部散瞳剂和抗青光眼药物。
由于基础设施差和资源有限,PA在发展中国家是导致失明的一个不可避免的原因。
