Clinical Image

We report the case of a 7-year-old child, referred to an ophthalmologic. Consultation because of a bilateral ptosis, nystagmus and reduced visual acuity. In his personal history, his parents are not consanguineous, a normal course of Pregnancy and childbirth, and no family history of eye pathologies.

The ophthalmological examination notes a bilateral ptosis, a bilateral horizontal nystagmus, visual acuity estimated at 4/10 in the right eye and 1/10 in the left eye. The examination of the anterior segment bilaterally finds a clear cornea, a deep anterior chamber, total aniridia, and an axial nuclear cataract. The ocular tone was normal and the examination of the fundus is without particularity. The general assessment did not show any extraocular anomalies.
