title: Unilateral pseudo-synophthalmos.
abstract: A 4 1/2-year-old girl had an unusual congenital defect of her left eye which we have elected to call a unilateral pseudo-synophthalmos. We have found no other such case reported. We review the case history and findings, discuss the embryology, and explore the possible embryologic explanations for such an anomaly.
