Oculocerebrocutaneous syndrome (Delleman Oorthuys syndrome) (OMIM 164180) is a rare syndrome affecting eyes, skin, and central nervous system, and it is usually associated with microphthalmia.
Case Description:
A 4-day old baby boy was referred to our hospital for the evaluation of buphthalmos in the left eye. His clinical evaluation was remarkable for oculocerebrocutaneous syndrome with congenital glaucoma in the left eye and microphthalmos in the right eye.
Conclusion:
Our report represents the first case of oculocerebrocutaneous syndrome associated with unilateral congenital glaucoma so far in the literature.
