Axenfeld anomaly More Details is a condition with an anteriorly displaced and prominent Schwalbe line “(posterior embryotoxon)” [Figure 1]. When this presents along with systemic abnormalities such as dental, cardiac, craniofacial, and abdominal wall defects, we call it as Axenfeld Reiger Syndrome.[1] Here we present a high myopic patient with a detached Posterior Embryotoxon (360°) in both eyes. This condition is called as the “garland sign'. They are more prone to develop Glaucoma in their adulthood. We present this case due to its rare presentation and to emphasize the fact that patients with Posterior Embryotoxon, have 50% chance to develop glaucoma.[2] | Figure 1: (a and b) External photograph of both eyes showing the posterior embryotoxon (garland sign; arrow). (c) Magnified view of posterior embryotoxon
