The management of ASD becomes particularly complex when associated with other serious ocular conditions. This report discusses the case of a 4-year-old girl diagnosed with ASD exhibiting a combination of sclerocornea, aphakia, aniridia, and secondary glaucoma. Owing to the complexity of such condition, a multi-disciplinary approach is required. Despite successful initial surgical interventions on the left eye, eye was lost due to subsequent endophthalmitis and retinal detachment, resulting in a decision to adopt a conservative, non-surgical approach for the right eye. Although a series of therapeutic interventions have been performed, the final visual outcome was poor, demonstrating the complexity and seriousness of such cases. This case serves as a reminder of the need for regular follow-up, prompt recognition, and management of potential complications. Further research is necessary to optimize the outcomes in patients with similar presentations.Keywords: congenital aniridia, aphakia, secondary glaucoma, sclerocornea, case report |
