title: Missed case of Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome: a case report.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Anterior segment dysgenesis is a failure of normal development of the anterior segment of the eye. The structural anomalies are associated with glaucoma and corneal opacity which may lead to blindness.
  
  
  METHODS
  A Caucasian male was noted to have 'funny pupils' at the age of seven years but not followed up. He was diagnosed to have Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome at the age of thirty four years when he presented with glaucoma and visual field loss.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome is uncommon. There is risk of sight loss due to glaucoma and corneal opacity. Importance of long-term follow up in cases of abnormal ocular findings in early life is emphasised.
