[Ophthalmologic findings in 11 q-deletion syndrome]

A 5-year-old boy with deletion of the long arm of chromosome 11 presented with trigonocephaly, bilateral ptosis, epicanthus, antimongoloid lid axes, and bilateral iris coloboma. In order to avoid complication by a torticollis a Guyton-Friedenwald fadenoperation was performed. In 1981 Grosse et al. listed among the pediatric symptoms retarded development, ventricular septum defect, mitral stenosis, and skeletal and urogenital anomalies.
