Congenital 'frozen eyes', with other mesodermal abnormalities: report of a case

A case is reported of a 41/2-year-old girl with generalized fibrosis, no active or passive eye movements, anisohyperopia, craniofacial asymmetry and hypoplasia of a toe. There was no ptosis, nor backward head tilt and only a moderate exotropia. Study of the fixation and of the binocular relationship met with unusual difficulties owing to the absence of eye movements. Mesodermal abnormalities were noted in the anterior chamber. A normal female karyotype was reported and family history was noncontributory.
