A Case with Microphthalmia and Multiple Congenital Anomalies
We present a 7-month-old girl with bilateral microphthalmia, sclerocornea, iris and chorioretinal coloboma, blepharophimosis and
dacryostenosis. Microphthalmia is one of the most common features in many syndromes as Micro syndrome, oculodentodigital dysplasia,
oculofaciocardiodental syndrome, and Lenz microphthalmia syndrome. Our patient’s clinical features also involved microcephaly, cleft
palate, developmental delay, digital and urogenital anomalies, cardiac septal defects and hearing loss, which diagnosis is mostly consistent
with the Lenz microphthalmia syndrome. Lenz microphthalmia syndrome is a very rare conditions and their expressions are more often
in countries with high rates of consanguineous marriages. Hence, recognizing such rare syndromes in patients with multiple congenital
anomalies is essential. (Turk J Ophthalmol 2013; 43: 468-70
