The cases of Peters' anomaly seen over the past decade, at Hospital Ste-Justine in Montreal, are reviewed. Associated ocular anomalies were observed in 50% of cases while 60% of patients presented with associated systemic defects. It is clear, from these patients and those reported in the literature, that Peters' anomaly can be an isolated condition, or part of distinct syndromes: the Krause-Kivlin syndrome or the Peters'-plus syndrome. The authors emphasize the importance for the ophthalmologist to recognize these possibilities if proper management is to be provided.

Background: The breeding population of the red-billed chough (Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax) in Scotland has fallen in recent years, with all breeding pairs now confined to the Hebridean islands of Islay and Colonsay. Demographic studies have shown that a significant factor in the population decline on Islay has been reduced survival from fledging to 1 year of age (juveniles). Understanding the significance of infectious and non-infectious diseases in chough mortality is crucial to the development of successful management strategies aimed at conserving breeding populations of choughs in Scotland and elsewhere.

Background: Anterior segment dysgenesis (ASD) encompasses a range of congenital disorders affecting the development of the eye's anterior segment, often leading to significant visual impairment and glaucoma. Although numerous studies have focused on the genetic basis of ASD, few have comprehensively compared the clinical features across ASD subtypes. This study aims to address this gap by describing and comparing the clinical characteristics and ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) imaging features of various ASD subtypes in a Chinese tertiary medical center.
