BMJ Case Rep. 2021 Dec 22;14(12):e246960. doi: 10.1136/bcr-2021-246960.

Abstract

Posterior embryotoxon, an anteriorly displaced Schwalbe's line, is the most common feature of Axenfeld Rieger syndrome. We report a case of Axenfeld anomaly with unusual corneal manifestation, that is, a fairly symmetric, hyperproliferated posterior embryotoxon mimicking double cornea as well as a double pupil.

Keywords: anterior chamber; eye; glaucoma.
