Abstract
A series of 15 patients with Peters' anomaly observed from 1987–1991 and a patient showing Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome were studied retrospectively. Combined ocular anomalies were: microphthalmos (9×), myopia (4×), aniridia (2×), cataract (2×). Five of the patients had combined general anomalies: mental retardation, deafness, cardiac malformation (ASD II), and luxatio coxae. In two of them chromosomal anomalies were found: 4p minus syndrome, mosaic trisomy 9. After comparison of these data with those known from the literature the author confirms that Peters' anomaly is a morphologic finding rather than a distinct entity. Treatment depends on individual histopathologic findings and on the psychophysical development of the child.
