Colobomatous macrophthalmia with microcornea

Ophthalmic Paediatr Genet. 1984 Aug;4(2):59-66. doi: 10.3109/13816818409007839.

Abstract

The ocular malformation of microcornea, uveal coloboma, high myopia, posterior staphyloma, and macrophthalmia was studied in a family. Clinical characteristics and ocular parameters, including refractive error and axial length, are summarized. The pedigree is consistent with autosomal dominant inheritance of the disorder; expressivity is variable. This unique malformation is differentiated from other well-recognized syndromes of colobomatous microphthalmia.
