Abstract

Axenfeld–Rieger syndrome is a rare multi-system disorder associated with cardiac anomalies. All patients with a diagnosis of Axenfeld–Rieger syndrome were identified from our electronic medical record. Chart review was performed to document the presence and types of CHD. Out of 58 patients, 14 (24.1%) had CHD and a wide variety of cardiac lesions were identified.
