Microphthalmos: clinical and ultrasonographic findings.
We analyzed ocular and ultrasonographic findings of microphthalmos and associated ocular and systemic pathologies in 27 microphthalmic eyes. A high incidence of consanguinous marriages (26%) was present among the parents of patients. Associated systemic abnormalities were growth retardation, congenital rubella, cleft lip and palate, facial hemangioma, inguinal hernia, clinodactyly, Hurler syndrome, Goltz-Gorlin syndrome and Hallermann-Streiff syndrome. A variety of ocular/systemic abnormalities were encountered. Early ultrasonographic diagnosis and description of other ocular and systemic pathologies are essential.
