Her parents brought an 18-month-old girl with complaints of a worm-like structure in both eyes. Slit-lamp evaluation revealed a complete Schwalbe's ring (arrow, [Figure 1]), iris hypoplasia, and corectopia. Intraocular-pressure was 14 mm Hg, and optic discs were healthy, in both eyes. Gonioscopy revealed iris processes and iridocorneal adhesions (arrowheads, [Figure 1]) typical of Axenfeld anomaly More Details. | Figure 1: Slit-lamp and gonioscopy photographs of right and left eye (Right and Left Panel, respectively) showing a complete Schwalbeæs ring (arrows), and iris processes typical of Axenfeld-Rieger anomaly (arrow-heads)

An anteriorly displaced and prominent Schwalbe's line, also known as “posterior embryotoxon”, may manifest as complete Schwalbe's ring.[1] Typical Axenfeld-Rieger anomaly is defined as the presence of posterior embryotoxon with iris changes like stromal hypoplasia, corectopia, polycoria, or ectropion uvea. Atypical presentations may have overlapping features of other anterior segment dysgenesis, including aniridia, iridocorneal endothelial syndrome, Peters anomaly, and isolated trabeculodysgenesis.[2] Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome More Details includes systemic abnormalities such as dental, cardiac, craniofacial, and abdominal-wall-defects.[3] No systemic abnormalities were seen in the present case. Informed consent has been obtained from parents of the patient. Ethics approval for this case report has been obtained from Institutional Ethics Committee of 'Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research' (Reference no: NK/6399/Study/745).
