| Aniridia with Secondary Congenital Glaucoma | |
| This patient presented with aniridia, and secondary congenital glaucoma which is evident by the large horizontal corneal diameter. A limbal landmark is not clearly evident because of pannus formation (stem cell deficiency) as well as the enlarged cornea. This disease is dominantly inherited in 2/3 of the cases. Cataract, glaucoma, optic nerve and foveal hypoplasia are common association in aniridia. Patients with aniridia should seek urologic consultation to exclude Wilm's tumor, which is more common in spoardic cases. | |
