Congenital unilateral corectopia in infants, caused by iris-cornea fibrous strands, can progress but is treatable. Early medical or surgical intervention ensures favorable visual outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pediatric Ophthalmology
  • Developmental Biology

Background:

  • Congenital unilateral corectopia is a rare pupillary abnormality.
  • Understanding its causes and optimal management is crucial for pediatric eye care.

Observation:

  • Four infants presented with unilateral corectopia due to a fibrous structure tethering the iris to the cornea.
  • No associated congenital anomalies or intrauterine infections were noted.
  • Progression of corectopia occurred in three infants within the first six months of life.

Findings:

  • Two infants with shallow anterior chambers underwent surgical intervention (Nd:YAG laser or incisional surgery).
  • One infant was managed with medical mydriasis.
  • All four infants achieved favorable visual outcomes following treatment.

Implications:

  • The fibrous strands may originate from incomplete regression of embryonic vascular systems.
  • Intervention is recommended for corectopia affecting the visual axis or threatening ocular structures.
  • Prophylactic occlusion therapy may be beneficial in select cases.
