Dr. Aswathy Devaki Satyan, Dr. Prakash Ignace Tete, Dr. Mohamed Rafi
Abstract
Background: Peters anomaly is a rare congenital ocular condition characterized by central corneal opacity and anterior segment dysgenesis. Type 2 Peters anomaly, distinguished by the presence of corneolenticular adhesions and cataracts, is less frequently reported and often associated with systemic anomalies.
Case Presentation:
We report a rare case of bilateral Peters anomaly type 2 in a female baby born out of non-consanguineous marriage to a primi mother at 26 weeks of gestation. Fundoscopy done showed bilateral corneal opacity with central thinning part with suspected iridocorneal adhesions. B scan showed bilateral Peters anomaly type II with bilateral micro-ophthalmia and left anterior keratoconus. Genetic workup for PAX6 and other genes related for above diagnosis was advised.
Conclusion: This case highlights the phenotypic complexity of Peters anomaly type 2 and underlines the importance of early multidisciplinary evaluation, including genetic analysis and systemic screening, to guide appropriate management and prognosis.
