title: [Fuchs's heterochromic cyclitis in Moebius' syndrome (author's transl)].
abstract: In a 16-year-old boy with congenital bilateral paralysis of the sixth cranial nerve and unilateral paralysis of the seventh nerve (on the right) heterochromia of the right eye was observed, characterized by a lighter color of the iris, precipitates on Descemet's membrane and absence of synechiae. The development of Fuch's heterochromic cyclitis in combination with Moebius' syndrome is discussed in connection with possible pathogenic factors, in particular immunopathologic processes which may contribute to an understanding of the origin and progression of the disease.
