Summary

Congenital bilateral corneal opacities, diagnosed as Peters' anomaly, were treated with corneal grafting. Successful corneal clarity was achieved, though glaucoma management was required post-surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Genetics
  • Histopathology

Background:

  • Congenital corneal opacities present a significant challenge in pediatric ophthalmology.
  • Peters' anomaly is a rare developmental disorder affecting the anterior chamber of the eye.

Observation:

  • A case of congenital bilateral protruding corneal opacities was identified.
  • Clinical and histological examinations confirmed Peters' anomaly, specifically noting defects in the endothelium and Descemet's membrane.
  • No abnormalities of the iris and lens were observed.

Findings:

  • Corneal grafting was successfully performed on both eyes.
  • The grafted corneas remained clear during a one-year follow-up period.
  • Surgical intervention for secondary glaucoma became necessary in the post-operative period.

Implications:

  • Corneal grafting can restore visual clarity in cases of Peters' anomaly.
  • The potential for developing glaucoma following corneal grafting for Peters' anomaly requires vigilant monitoring and management.
  • This case highlights the complex interplay between corneal development and intraocular pressure regulation.
