Sumario:Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome (ARS) is a rare autosomal dominant condition characterized by the dysgenesis of the anterior segment along with some systemic abnormalities such as dental and facial bone defects. Its incidence is thought to be 1 in 200,000. Treatment is predominantly the management of glaucoma and is mostly medical but can be surgical in refractory cases. Here, we describe the case of a 35-year-old female patient who presented with co-existing vernal keratoconjunctivitis and ARS. The treatment was more challenging as we had to manage two conditions simultaneously.
