Rieger anomaly

Radiopaedia • CC-by-nc-sa 3.0 • de

The Rieger anomaly refers to the maldevelopment of the anterior chamber of the ocular globe. The iris and cornea do not form correctly, findings including:

hypoplastic iris stroma
corectopia: an off-center pupil in the iris
colobomas of the iris (pseudopolycoria)

Patients are at increased risk of glaucoma and associated visual loss.
