Congenital sclerocornea in Nigerian children.
Four cases of congenital sclerocornea in Nigerian children are described. Two of these children are from the same family suggesting a genetical determination. A developmental anomaly with various manifestation and associated with other ocular abnormalities would appear to be the etiology. One of the cases also had extrophia vesicae, an association that has not been previously described.
