Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome (ARS) is a disease that encompasses anterior segment ocular dysgenesis in addition to systemic abnormalities such as dental, cardiac, craniofacial, and abdominal wall defects. Previously, this syndrome was separated into multiple entities, including Axenfeld anomaly, Rieger anomaly, and Rieger syndrome. Axenfeld anomaly has been characterized by posterior embryotoxon and peripheral iris strand attachment. Rieger anomaly denoted posterior embryotoxon, iris hypoplasia, polycoria, and corectopia. Association of systemic findings with Rieger anomaly, including dental abnormalities, changes of the facial bones such as maxillary hypoplasia, umbilical abnormalities (redundant periumbilical skin), hypospadias, and pituitary abnormalities, has been called Rieger syndrome. However, it has been recognized that all these previous entities fall under a group of diseases, which is now called ARS. This activity reviews the presentation of ARS and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in its management.
