Abstract
An infant with bilateral Peters' Anomaly, with corneal opacification i n the right eye and an opacification with an axial defect in the left also had an associated hydrocephalus and cardiac anomalies that proved fatal; histopathology of the right eye showed retinal neovascularizat ion in addition to findings consistent with a diagnosis of Peters' Ano maly; in the left eye, pathologic findings were suggestive of a cornea l coloboma associated with aphakia.
