Rieger's syndrome Description: A genetically determined syndrome of malformations of the anterior chamber of the eye and the teeth, combining features of the Axenfeld syndrome with oligodontia. Eye anomalies consist of posterior embryotoxon (an opaque ring at the margin of the cornea), a prominent Schwalbe ring, iris adhesion to the Schwalbe line, hypoplasia of the anterior stroma of the iris, and occasional glaucoma. Tooth anomalies include anondontia vera and microdontia.
