A 30-year-old male with BCVA of 20/20 was diagnosed with an accessory layer of iris stroma in OU [Figure 1]a and [Figure 2]a and a Leucomatous corneal opacity (inferotemporal) in OS with iris strands adherent to underlying endothelium [Figure 2]b and [Figure 2]c. Intraocular pressures were normal and angles open with few pigment patches along Schwalbe's line [Figure 1]c and [Figure 2]c. There was no lenticular involvement and optic discs were healthy. AC depth and Pachymetry were 2.47 mm/564 microns (OD) and 2.24 mm/572 microns (OS). Stromal duplication was more evident on dilation [Figure 1]b and [Figure 2]b. Scheimpflug images [Figure 1]d and ASOCT [Figure 2]d confirmed stromal hyperplasia. | Figure 1: Right eye. (a) Diffuse illumination, (b) Post dilation picture showing two distinct layers in iris stroma, (c) Gonioscopy inferior angle showing open angle and pigment on Schwalbe's line, (d) Scheimpflug image showing accessory iris tissue

This unusual case of Anterior Segment Dysgenesis falls under the Iridocorneodysgenesis category with some features of Peters anomaly.[1],[2] There are very few reports of stromal hyperplasia.[3],[4],[5] Such patients need to be closely monitored as they can develop glaucoma later in life.
