ABSTRACT

We made the clinical presentation of a female patient who assisted the ophthalmologic consultation to follow her by glaucoma and was diagnosed with an Axenfeld-Rieger anomaly for presenting, in a bilateral and asymmetric way. the alterations in the anterior segment of the eye that are typical of this rare ocular disease such as: a prominent Schwalbe ring displaced forward, irido-corneal adherences, and stromatic atrophy of the iris. This anomaly belongs to the group of the so called irido-corneal dysgenics that generally develops with a secondary ocular hypertension, being that the feature of its importance from the ophthalmologic point of view. The ocular tension of the patients has been kept under control with medical treatment.
