✦ Synopsis
The index patient of this report is a 17-weekgestation female fetus with bilateral anophthalmia, bilateral cleft liplcleft palate, macrotia with bilateral lateral facial cleft, large open sacral neural tube defect, and uterus unicornis. Parents were normal and nonconsanguineous with an unremarkable family history. Their first child, a 4-year-old boy, is normal. The second child, a 2%-yearold boy, has bilateral anophthalmia and an abnormal left ear with absent lobule as the sole additional anomaly. These 2 sibs seem to be the first examples of a new "anophthalmia-plus" syndrome apparently inherited as autosomal-recessive.
