Oculocutaneous Albinism associated with Axenfeld’s Anomaly Three case reports
Journal Title: Sultan Qaboos University Medical Journal - Year 2010, Vol 10, Issue 1
Abstract
Oculocutaneous albinism and anterior mesodermal dysgenesis are well-known heritable conditions, but their occurrence in association has only been rarely reported. We present cases of three siblings of a family with identical presentation suggesting that this association may be more than just a coincidence. Tis association is worth noting, as this could be one of the causes of ocular morbidity and poor vision in oculocutaneous albinism.
