| Abstract: | The cases of Peters' anomaly seen over the past decade, at Hospital Ste-Justine in Montreal, are reviewed. Associated ocular anomalies were observed in 50% of cases while 60% of patients presented with associated systemic defects. It is clear, from these patients and those reported in the literature, that Peters' anomaly can be an isolated condition, or part of distinct syndromes: the Krause-Kivlin syndrome or the Peters'-plus syndrome. The authors emphasize the importance for the ophthalmologist to recognize these possibilities if proper management is to be provided. |
