title: Association of congenital heart disease, blepharoptosis, and short stature.
abstract: We found 12 patients with congenital heart disease of unknown etiology complicated with blepharoptosis during a period from Sept. 1, 1981 to April 30, 1989. All the patients with congenital heart disease were acyanotic, including 10 with short stature. Among these 10, abnormalities of high frequency were intrauterine growth retardation (5 cases), mental retardation (5), microcephaly (3), epicanthus (4), high arched palate (4), sacral dimple (4), and distal axial triradius (3). It is postulated that the association of congenital heart disease, blepharoptosis and short stature might indicate pathogenetic relationships.
