title: Falciform fold of retina.
abstract: A boy of 2 had evidence of congenital retinal non-attachment. The mother had a veil like fold in one eye. There was no evidence of any systemic disorder. The inheritance might be X-linked recessive. Mild manifestations of the disease in the carrier mother may be more frequent than has been assumed and should be looked for.
