Peters anomaly (Q59343)
From determinar.ia.br - Determine suas informações
Peters anomaly, or Peters congenital glaucoma, is a genetic eye developmental disorder characterised by trabecular dysgenesis that causes glaucoma, which is generally bilateral. Descemet's membrane and the endothelium at the centre of the cornea fail to develop, leading to opacities in the central cornea with iridocorneal synechia that stretch from the edge of the irides to the central opacity. The anterior chamber is narrow and may adhere to the lens. Cataract can be associated.
