CASE REPORT: We present the case of a newborn baby in whom we observed aniridia, congenital glaucoma and edematous corneas, without clearance of the cornea after glaucoma surgery, and in whom a keratoplasty was considered. The patient had no evidence of systemic diseases and no deletion of chromosome 11. DISCUSSION: It is important to perform a thorough ophthalmological and systemic exploration in newborn patients with aniridia due to other diseases that can be associated with it. We present the unusual case in which aniridia, congenital glaucoma and white corneas coexisted in a newborn baby. To our knowledge, such cases have only been reported twice before in the literature (Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol 2009; 84: 573-576).LA: Spanish
