Axenfeld Reiger Syndrome and CNS Tuberculosis in a Pediatric Patient: A Rare Coincidence
Abstract
An 8-year-old child on anti-tubercular therapy for CNS TB was referred to the eye outpatient department (OPD) for ethambutol toxicity screening. An incidental detection of posterior embryotoxon and corectopia in the left eye prompted detailed systemic evaluation, which resulted in a diagnosis of Axenfeld-Reiger syndrome. Fortunately, the child did not have glaucoma on presentation and has been counseled for a lifelong follow-up with an ophthalmologist.
