title: [Ocular manifestations in Peters' syndrome].
abstract: The analysis of twenty-one observations with Peter Syndrome, shows that the disease was established by a disorder in the development of the mesoderm who gives birth at the posterior, stratum of cornea, iris stroma and angle of the posterior chamber. The disease was associated with cataract (nine cases), strabismus (seven cases), congenital glaucoma (five cases), microophthalmia (three cases), microcornea (four cases), remainders of the pupillary membrane (one case), vitreous opacities (one case), facial malformations (one case), congenital dacryocystitis (one case), nystagmus (four cases). The presence at the same patient of the posterior keratoconus or staphiloma of cornea at one eye and Peter syndromme at the other eye, is possible to say that these diseases are evolutionary stages by one and the same mesodermal disgenesia.
