GO Waring III, MM Rodrigues, PR Laibson - Survey of ophthalmology, 1975 - Elsevier
This paper classifies the abnormalities of the anterior chamber cleavage syndrome
(mesodermal dysgenesis of the iris and cornea). The anatomic findings are arranged in a
tabular stepladder fashion which builds from simple to more complex combinations, most of
which have been previously known by eponyms. There are three groups of anomalies: 1)
peripheral, 2) central, and 3) combinations of the two. 1) The peripheral anomalies consist of
a prominent Schwalbe's ring, iris strands to Schwalbe's ring, and hypoplasia of the anterior …
