Improvement of Corneal Opacity in Peters' Anomaly
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 5-week-old male presented with Peters' anomaly. Corneal transplantation was deferred and the patient underwent an optical sector iridectomy in his better eye with central leukoma and iridocorneal adhesions. At six months following surgery, there was a decrease in corneal opacity. The most recent ophthalmic examination was performed at age 42 months. The cornea was considerably clearer, and the child had a visual acuity of 20/50. Optical sector iridectomy should be considered, in selected cases of Peters' anomaly.

Peters' anomaly is characterized by a central corneal opacity with corresponding defects in the posterior stroma, Descemet's membrane, and endothelium. We present 2 cases that showed corneal opacity when examined by topical endoscopic imaging (TEI). Case 1 was a 20-day-old neonatal female who had a central corneal opacity in the left eye. TEI showed that the iris stroma was adhered toward the b...

PURPOSE To evaluate the importance in anterior segment dysgenesis of genetic variation in Foxe3, a gene encoding a forkhead transcription factor specifically expressed in the lens. METHODS The phenotype of mice heterozygous for a mutation in the DNA-binding domain of Foxe3 was examined from histologic sections, and DNA binding by the encoded protein was investigated by gel-shift assay. FOXE3 ...
