The authors present three patients with the diagnosis of septo-optic dysplasia or 'de Morsier' syndrome. They stress the important role of the ophthalmologist in the diagnosis. With the advent of MRI, subtle central nervous system abnormalities have been recognized. A close ophthalmological and endocrinological follow-up is necessary.
