Ocular findings in acromesomelic dysplasia.
We examined an infant who had prenatal onset of a skeletal dysplasia that had many features in common with acromesomelic dysplasia, including the clinical and light and electron microscopic findings of both corneas. Successful lamellar keratoplasty was performed on the left eye when histologic examination of the corneal button from the right eye showed that the corneal scar was only of partial thickness.
