Abstract

Since 1988, when Rogers first described a boy with anophthalmia associated with esophageal atresia, eight similar cases have been reported. These patients lend support to the hypothesis that this association of congenital anomalies constitutes a discrete entity, although the etiology is still unknown.We report a patient with this combination of malformations as well as a marked hypoplasia of the entire left half of the body.

We report on two new patients who had unilateral microphthalmia and esophageal atresia. A similar association was previously described in six patients. The accumulation of the eight affected patients provides further support for recognizing this association as a distinct syndrome. Am. J. Med. Genet.
