A seven-month-old female domestic shorthaired cat was presented for buphthalmos in the
right eye and corneal cloudiness in the left eye. Full ophthalmic examinations were
performed for both eyes and enucleation was done for the right nonvisual eye. Congenital
glaucoma caused by anterior segment dysgenesis was confirmed for the right eye. In the
left eye, slit-lamp examination revealed focal corneal edema with several iris strands
from iris collarette to the affected posterior corneal surfaces. Circular posterior
corneal defect was suggested to be the cause of edema. Goniodysgenesis, additionally, was
identified. Taken together, the diagnosis of Peters’ anomaly which is a subtype of
anterior segment dysgenesis was suggested in the left eye.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
