title: Ocular congenital fibrosis syndrome.
abstract: The symptomatology of congenital fibrosis of extraocular muscles, markedly restricted eye movements, blepharoptosis and chin elevation were found in 10 individuals and three generations of one family. The mode of inheritance is compatible with a variable expressive dominant trait. Our experience with the surgical management of the condition using more aggressive procedures than currently employed is described.
