  • Title: Corneal perforation with secondary congenital aphakia in Peters anomaly.
    Author: Banning CS, Blackmon DM, Song CD, Grossniklaus HE.
    Journal: Cornea; 2005 Jan; 24(1):118-20. PubMed ID: 15604880.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To describe two cases of secondary congenital aphakia in association with Peters anomaly. METHODS: Two infants were noted to have corneal opacification at birth. Each child was found to have Peters anomaly requiring corneal transplantation in 1 or both eyes. RESULTS: Each child underwent penetrating keratoplasty, revealing absence of the crystalline lens in 1 eye. Histopathologic evaluation of the corneal buttons was performed. Each specimen showed full-thickness corneal defects with lens remnants. CONCLUSIONS: Secondary congenital aphakia from corneal perforation should be considered in the presentation of severe Peters anomaly.
