Abstract:
A 31-month-old female patient presented to our department of Ophthalmology in Xijing Hospital with insufficiency closed eyelid in left eye and photophobia for one month. Unsteady gait with asymmetrical face, bilateral auricle deformity and deafness could be observed on the pediatric patient. Esotropia in left eye combined, left facial nerve palsy, with binocular anisometropia was checked out after general eye examination. Echocardiography revealed that she was treated with ligation of the ductus arteriosus. A de novo pathogenic variant, c.3392T>C, was identified in CHD7 gene, which supported the diagnosis of CHARGE syndrome. (Chin J Ophthalmol, 2021, 57: 618-620).
