Brachymesomelia and Peters anomaly: a new syndrome

We report on a child with an unusual mesomelic bone dysplasia and Peters anomaly. While there is some resemblance to the radiographic findings and corneal clouding described by Pillay in the OMMD (ophthalmomandibulo-melic dysplasia) syndrome, there are also differences. The several syndromes that combine brachymesomelia and corneal clouding are discussed.
