Ocular, cerebral and cutaneous malformations: confirmation of an association

A newborn with multiple congenital abnormalities including an orbital cyst, cerebral cysts, skin tags and focal dermal defects is described. This case is similar to two patients reported by Delleman & Oorthuys in 1981 under the designation "Oculo-cerebro-cutaneous syndrome." Features common to other syndromes are discussed and additional cases with some similarities are also presented. The occurrence of this process in a new population and the cited variability helps confirm and define this association.
