Congenital aniridia

Aniridia congénita

Objective: to present one case of bilateral congenital aniridia associated with cataracts and foveal hypoplasia and conduct a review of available literature. Methods: a review of literature and clinical record of a patient who consulted Hospital de San José, Bogotá DC. Conclusions: aniridia is a rare panophthalmic disorder which involves the cornea, anterior chamber, iris, lens, retina, macula and optic nerve. Its incidence is between 1:64.000 and 1:100.000. It may occur alone or associated with other syndromes, such as Wilms tumor, genitourinary abnormalities and mental retardation (WARG Syndrome).
