[Bilateral iris coloboma].

Congenital ocular colobomas are due to incomplete closure of the fetal fissure during organogenesis. Ocular involvement can be variable ranging from a simple hole in the iris to a more severe involvement of the posterior pole (coloboma of the optic nerve, of the choroid, of the retina). We here report the case of a typical isolated bilateral iris coloboma.

[Bilateral persistent pupillary membrane and high myopia].

After birth, remnants of pupillary membrane which constitute the vascular supply to the crystalline lens can persist. These are contiguous to the iris collarette causing possible deprivation amblyopia by obstructing the pupillary area. We here report the case of a 4-year-old child, born to consanguineous parents, presenting with bilateral persistent pupillary membrane associated with high myopia.
