Anophthalmia megalocornea cardiopathy skeletal anomalies syndrome is an extremely rare multi-systemic genetic disorder which is characterized by congenital ocular, muscular, and heart abnormalities. It was first described in the children of a consanguineous couple,[2] and it is thought to be autosomal recessive disorder with variable expressity.[3] No new cases have been described in medical literature since 1992.[4]
Presentation
People with this disorder usually have the following symptoms: dolichocephaly, asymmetrical skull, camptodactyly, talipes equinovarus, muscular hypoplasia, anophthalmia, buphthalmos, retinal detachment, aniridia, tricuspid valve prolapse, and mitral and tricuspid deficiency.[5]
