Congenital Bilateral Sporadic Aniridia: Review of Management | Chapter 9 | Medical Science: Trends and Innovations Vol. 2

Purpose: This is to review the management modalities and report a rare case of bilateral sporadic aniridia in an African child.

Presentation: A case of bilateral sporadic aniridia with horizontal nystagmus, cataract, optic disc and fovea hypoplasia in a 5-year-old female patient was reported. She was managed conservatively.

Various modalities of treatment with their limitations were reviewed.

Conclusion: Congenital bilateral aniridia is not generally common. As a result of the associated fibrotic nature, management is complex, may fail and may not be affordable or available in developing countries.
