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...

Primordial follicles comprise an oocyte surrounded by a single layer of squamous epithelial cells, called pregranulosa cells (Peters, 1978; Greenwald and Terranova, 1988). Enlargement of the oocyte and initiation of granulosa cell division mark the beginning of follicular growth (Peters, 1978). Soon after initiation of growth, the pregranulosa cells, which form the simple squamous epithelium of...

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...
