Abstract

in her son.She had diffuse corneal guttata and a slightly up-drawn pupil in both eyes (Figure 2).Intraocular pressure was normal.Indirect ophthalmoscopy revealed a normal retina in the right eye and several peripheral inferior chorioretinal scars in the left eye.The nature of the chorioretinal scars could not be resolved.She had neurologic signs and symptoms suggestive of multiple sclerosis.There were no other family members with similar ocular abnormalities.Comment.This family presents a unique combination of corneal findings that do not fit into known diseases or syndromes.2][3][4][5] In our 2 patients, the corneal opacities were superior and peripheral, and there were no visible defects in Descemet membrane.Furthermore, the disease trait appeared to be inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion.Axenfeld-Rieger anomaly is also autosomal dominant and includes posterior embryotoxon, iris stromal hypoplasia, corectopia, and polycoria, and it can be complicated by glaucoma.
