Adams-Oliver syndrome: a case of bilateral progressive ischemic maculopathy

Adams-Oliver syndrome (AOS) is a congenital condition characterized by aplasia cutis congenita of the scalp and transverse limb defects. Other clinical features reported in association with AOS include cardiac malformations, cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita, prenatal complications, and ophthalmic abnormalities. Reported ophthalmic manifestations range from Peters anomaly-like findings and cataract formation to incomplete or abnormal retinal vasculature, optic nerve hypoplasia, and rod dystrophy. We report the novel case of a 3-month-old boy with AOS type 2 who was found to have bilateral progressive macular ischemia.
