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.
