#PETERS ANOMALY SERIES#

They add that these drainage devices, cycloablation (average of 2.0☑.0 treatments per eye, nine eyes, transcleral or endoscopic), trabeculectomy with mitomycin-C (eight eyes) and trabeculotomy (eight eyes) had success rates of 53%, 67%, 25% and 0%, respectively. Fifteen of the eyes that underwent glaucoma surgery eventually obtained IOP control, and glaucoma drainage devices ± laser cycloablation accounted for 80% of the successes. The study authors also note that 34 eyes were diagnosed with glaucoma at 2.8☖.4 years of age, with 20 requiring glaucoma surgery (average of 2.9☒.0 IOP-lowering surgeries per eye). These eyes did not show increased rates of glaucoma, higher IOP or greater necessity for IOP-lowering surgery. The investigators discovered that 23 eyes underwent PKP (average of 2.0☑.3 grafts per eye), with PKP survival rates ranging from 60% at one year to 34% at 10 years. The team analyzed visual acuity, intraocular pressure (IOP), corneal graft survival and glaucoma surgery success.

#PETERS ANOMALY SERIES#

This retrospective case series evaluated 58 eyes of 37 children with Peters’ anomaly, 19 of whom were male, who presented at 0.7☑.5 years of age and were followed for 10.2☑0.8 years.

Surg.For the majority of eyes with Peters’ anomaly, a congenital disorder leading to corneal opacity soon after birth, researchers recently found that penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) shows poor long-term success and multiple surgeries are required for secondary glaucoma. B.: A child with double cleft of lip and palate, protrusio of the intermaxillary portion of the upper jaw and imperfect development of the bones of the four extremities. In most cases, Peters anomaly is bilateral, which means that it affects both eyes, although the level of vision impairment may be different in each eye. Peters, A.: Über angeborene Defektbildung der Descemetschen Membran. Peters anomaly is often associated with other eye problems, such as increased pressure within the eye, clouding of the lens, and unusually small eyeballs (microphthalmia). Mietens, C., Weber, H.: A syndrome characterized by corneal opacity, nystagmus, flexion contracture of elbows, growth failure, and mental retardation J. Isolated Peters anomaly usually occurs in an autosomal recessive pattern but autosomal. Abnormal formation of the anterior segment causes an incomplete separation of the cornea from the iris or lens leading to corneal opacity. It can occur as an isolated finding or associated with systemic disease as in Peters-plus syndrome. M.: A familial dysmorphogenetic syndrome of limb deformities, characteristic facial appearance and associated anomalies: the “Pseudothalidomide or S.C. Peters anomaly is a frequent feature of numerous syndromes, both ocular and systemic, among them the Peters-plus ( 261540) syndrome (sometimes called the Kivlin-Krause ( 261540) syndrome) and has been reported in a case with aniridia ( 106210 ). Most cases of Peters anomaly are sporadic without an identified genetic cause. F.: The occurrence of congenital keratoconus posticus circumscriptus. P., Van den Berghe, H.: Corneal clouding, subvalvular aortic stenosis, and midfacial hypoplasia associated with mental and growth retardation. A., Breen, W.: A new oculocerebral syndrome with hypopigmentation. Assen, The Netherlands: Van Gorcum 1969Ĭross, H. A study of Rieger's syndrome and Peters' anomaly. They knew that a corneal transplant, also known as keratoplasty, was the major option used in Peters anomaly treatment. Right after this diagnosis, the hospital staff moved forward with treatment. H.: Dysgenesis mesodermalis of the iris and the cornea. When the baby arrived at AZHD, doctors immediately diagnosed the present symptoms as Peters anomaly.
