Bilateral anterior segment dysgenesis with the presumed Peters’ anomaly in acat

[摘要] A seven-month-old female domestic shorthaired cat was presented for buphthalmos in theright eye and corneal cloudiness in the left eye. Full ophthalmic examinations wereperformed for both eyes and enucleation was done for the right nonvisual eye. Congenitalglaucoma caused by anterior segment dysgenesis was confirmed for the right eye. In theleft eye, slit-lamp examination revealed focal corneal edema with several iris strandsfrom iris collarette to the affected posterior corneal surfaces. Circular posteriorcorneal defect was suggested to be the cause of edema. Goniodysgenesis, additionally, wasidentified. Taken together, the diagnosis of Peters’ anomaly which is a subtype ofanterior segment dysgenesis was suggested in the left eye.
