This study reports two infants with bilateral Peters' anomaly, presenting with severe ocular, cardiac, and central nervous system abnormalities. Despite extensive testing, no genetic or infectious cause was identified, highlighting a potential new syndrome.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Genetics
  • Neonatology

Background:

  • Peters' anomaly is a rare congenital corneal defect.
  • Bilateral cases are exceptionally rare, particularly with systemic abnormalities.

Observation:

  • Two infants presented with bilateral Peters' anomaly, severe facial dysmorphism, and central nervous system abnormalities.
  • One infant experienced premature death, while the other had a severe cardiac defect.

Findings:

  • Ocular findings included cataract, corneal defects, persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous, and retinal detachment.
  • Neuropathology revealed corpus callosum agenesis and cerebral calcifications.
  • Extensive biochemical, genetic, and infectious workups were negative.

Implications:

  • This case series suggests a potential new syndrome involving ocular, cardiac, and neurological defects.
  • Further research is needed to elucidate the etiology and genetic basis of this condition.
