title: Axenfeld's anomaly associated with Down's syndrome.
abstract: We report a case of a patient with Down's syndrome and keratoconus with acute hydrops who was incidentally noted to have Axenfeld's anomaly. We also review the systemic abnormalities associated with Axenfeld's anomaly and the implications of the diagnosis. To our knowledge, Axenfeld's anomaly has not previously been reported in association with Down's syndrome.
