Aniridia and congenital ptosis.
Congential ptosis associated with aniridia was found in 3 patients from 2 pedigrees. Nonsurgical aphakia, a condition not previously reported in association with aniridia, was also found in one case. The association of aniridia and congenital ptosis is suggested as evidence for the common mesodermal etiology of both anomalies.
