Congenital aniridia is a rare condition (1/40,000) manifested mainly by hypoplasia of the iris which can be associated with other eye disorders such as cataracts and systemics, especially urogenitals.
It’s a 15-year-old patient with no particular pathological history. They visited our facility for a decline in bilateral visual acuity and a notice of the parents of a bilateral leukocoria that had been neglected for several years. A complete ophthalmologic examination and ocular ultrasound were performed.
The ophthalmologic examination reveals a bilateral total white cataract with aniridia, a good anterior chamber. Normal eye tone. The rest of the exam cannot be accessed. The general check-up of this family does not show any extraocular abnormality. The ocular ultrasound was normal. Surgical management of cataracts with scleral implantation in the posterior segment was the treatment of choice.
