title: Ophthalmic manifestations in a case of Wiedemann-Rautenstrauch syndrome.
abstract: Wiedemann-Rautenstrauch syndrome (WRS) is a rare neonatal congenital disorder characterized by a progeroid appearance at birth. We report the ocular manifestations of WRS in a 6-year-old boy and compare the findings to previously reported cases. We report for the first time the findings of thin central corneas and lagophthalmos in WRS.
