Typical coloboma associated with anterior chamber cleavage syndrome, and microcornea: description of one case

The authors describe a rare association of bilateral typical coloboma, microcornea and anterior chamber cleavage deficience. They also discuss the embriology and the difficulties to identify if the continuous and insidious vision impairment is due to coloboma or to other associated disease, like glaucoma. Supplementary tests, such as visual field, ophthalmoscopy, and tonometry are not reliable because of the presence of nistagmus and low visual acuity.
