Ophthalmologic findings in cerebrofaciothoracic dysplasia

J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2005 Jan-Feb;42(1):47-51. doi: 10.3928/01913913-20050101-06.

Abstract

We describe the ophthalmologic findings in two cases of cerebrofaciothoracic dysplasia, a rare syndrome characterized by facial dysmorphism, multiple malformations of the vertebrae and ribs, and significant mental retardation. Both affected individuals are members of the same family and have epicanthal folds and hypertelorism. In addition, one patient has bilateral bull's eye maculopathy, which may represent an additional severe manifestation of cerebrofaciothoracic dysplasia syndrome.
