Forme fruste anterior segment dysgenesis

[...]these ocular entities were described by Peters and Axenfeld, the embryologic origin of the affected tissues was not known. 1 2 However, Johnston's avian experiments revealed that the corneal endothelium, stroma, and trabecular meshwork are all derived from migrating neural crest cells and referred to as anterior segment dysgenesis. 3 The genetic inheritance of Peters' anomaly is usually sporadic, but several genetic mutations have been reported in literature. [...]we assert that this case illustrates the importance of considering the diseases of anterior segment dysgenesis as a spectrum of findings and conditions and not as distinct entities.
