This one-month-old infant was born with bilateral corneal opacities that are close to the visual axis and synechiae between the iris and lens in both eyes. A TORCH (Toxoplasmosis, Rubella, Cytomegalo virus, Herpes) screening was done. Testing for IgG was positive for herpes simplex and rubella virus. White blood cell count was 13.83 (normal 9.00 to 12.00) with 67% lymphocytes. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate was normal. The fundus appears normal, but the pupil dilates poorly because of the synechiae, and the intraocular pressure was 13 mmHg in both eyes.
