[Ocular phenotype in a child with chondrodysplasia punctata, rhizomelic form].
Chondrodysplasia calcificans punctata (CDP) is a rare congenital syndrome characterized by calcific stippling of the hyaline cartilage. CDP is classified into 4 types: the autosomal dominant Conradi-Hünermann type, the autosomal recessive rhizomelic type, the X-linked dominant form and the X-linked recessive form. We present a child affected with a rhizomelic CDP born from consanguinous parents. The ocular phenotype consisted of microphakia associated with a progressive bilateral "cataracta cortico-zonularis suturata". At 11 years of age, a phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation was performed in the left eye.
