HERNANDEZ SANTOS, Lourdes R et al. Anomalies in the development of the anterior segment. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2012, vol.25, n.1, pp. 119-132. ISSN 0864-2176.
The anterior segment dysgeneses are part of a group of anomalies of the ocular development that share clinical characteristics and are mostly accompanied by glaucoma. This article used Taylor´s classification, which divides them into anomalies originated in the the neural crest cells , ectodermic anomalies and anomalies of global origin, describing their clinical characteristics, treatment and genetic alterations. Taking into account the diversity of clinical findings, it is increasingly important to identify gens in the development of the anterior segment which allow the classification of these dysgeneses according to the underlying genetic mutation.
Palavras-chave : Anterior segment dysgeneses; neural crest; ectodermic anomalies; genetic mutations.
