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.
