title: Immotile-cilia syndrome and the cilia of the eye.
abstract: Ten patients with the immotile-cilia syndrome were subjected to an extensive eye examination, which failed to demonstrate any consistent single abnormality. The tests of the retinal function and the aqueous humor dynamics were normal. However, different corneal abnormalities--mostly without clinical significance--were observed in 9 out of 10 patients, suggesting a developmental disturbance.
