Abstract
A case of Peters anomaly with bilateral post axial polydactyly, convex soles, ocular hypertelorism, a low nasal bridge, retrognathia, undescended testis, microphthalmia and club foot was examined in a neonatal Indian baby girl who had been delivered in the hospital and admitted to the newborn unit. She died aged five days. There were no cases of Peters anomaly recorded in India according to a literature search. In addition, available data point to the majority of the principal associations in Peters anomaly to be genitourinary anomalies, making this case a rare one in its isolated collection of musculoskeletal associations. A Indian baby girl of who was born through a Cesarean section presented in the new born unit of our hospital with bilateral corneal opacities, bilateral polydactyly, camptodactyly and club foot. This is a rare case of Peters anomaly and its association with Patau syndrome makes it special.
