A case of morning glory syndrome associated with persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous and Peters’ anomaly

We report a case of morning glory syndrome (MGS) associated with persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV) and Peters’ anomaly. A 2-day-old girl, born at term with a birth weight of 3,350 g was diagnosed with Peters’ anomaly, cataract, microphthalmia, PHPV, and MGS. A right limbal lensectomy a...

Description
Summary:We report a case of morning glory syndrome (MGS) associated with persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV) and Peters’ anomaly. A 2-day-old girl, born at term with a birth weight of 3,350 g was diagnosed with Peters’ anomaly, cataract, microphthalmia, PHPV, and MGS. A right limbal lensectomy and vitrectomy with stalk cauterization was performed 8 days later. No early postoperative complication occurred, the family was discharged with advice on medication, and follow-up examination was scheduled. The case report reveals the coexistence of PHPV, Peters’ anomaly, and MGS, which may suggest a genetic link.
