✦ Synopsis

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. 87:180-182, 1999.
