Abstract :
We reported the case of a 9-year-old boy with a complete right blue iris and left brown iris. Other Ophthalmic
examinations were normal except for the homonymous symmetrical pattern of nasal retinal hypopigmentation. The case
had no systemic finding or positive family history. The present case was unique because the presentation of iris
heterochromia did not follow Mendelian law and was not associated with any diseases or syndromes.
