Axenfeld-Rieger Syndrome (ARS): A Case Report

Abstract

Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome (ARS) is a rare autosomal dominant condition manifesting as a heterogeneous group of features. Of particular note are the ocular and craniofacial anomalies and dental features such as hypodontia, microdontia, taurodontism, enamel hypoplasia, conical-shaped teeth, shortened roots and delayed eruption. We report the case of a 23 years old female patient, who presented to the ophthalmology department for a routine eye chek-up. The ophthalmological examination showed vertical cup-to-disc ratio of 0,6 in the right eye and 0,7 in the left eye with normal intra ocular pressure. On general examination, she had maxillary hypoplasia, broad nasal bridge, oligodontia and microdontia.
