Abstract
Oculoectodermal syndrome (OES, OMIM 600268) is characterized by discrete areas of alopecia of the scalp and epibulbar dermoids which are present from birth, with additional variable anomalies. We describe two patients, one of whom has been reported [Lees et al. (2000); Am J Med Genet 91:391–395], who both had coarctation of the descending aorta and moyamoya disease, and developed epilepsy, recurrent transient ischemic attacks, and cerebrovascular accidents during early childhood. We suspect that the vascular findings are an integral part of the syndrome. © 2011 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
