Abstract
Objective: To report 3 cases with unusual ophthalmic phenotypes of congenital aniridia. Design: Interventional case series. Participants: A 10-day-old infant with cloudy and large cornea in both eyes, 1 month-old male with bilateral corneal opacity, and 27-year-old male with low vision. Methods: Complete ophthalmic examination and genetic evaluation. Results: Case 1 was a neonate with concurrent presentation of congenital aniridia and glaucoma. Case 2 was diagnosed as congenital aniridia combined with Peters anomaly in both eyes. Case 3 had 2 unusual features of aniridia, which were asymmetric iris involvement and absence of limbal deficiency. Conclusions: It is important to perform thorough ophthalmologic evaluations in patients with congenital aniridia because of the possibilities of coexistence of other ocular abnormalities.
