Synophthalmia
Associated with Holoprosencephaly and the
Acardi Syndrome
rare genetic malformation syndrome characterized by the partial or complete absence of a key structure in the brain called the corpus callosum, the presence of retinal abnormalities (peripapillary retinal colobomas), and seizures in the form of infantile spasms. Aicardi syndrome is theorized to be caused by a defect on the X chromosome as it has thus far only been observed in girls or in boys with Klinefelter syndrome.
Peters Anomaly
Type 1 – posterior defect - leukoma plus iridocorneal adhesions
Type 2 – leukoma + iridocorneal adhesions + lenticulocorneal adhesions
Peters Plus – above + renal, cardiac, genitourinary, cleft palate.
Pathology - Look for abscence of DM.

Infiltrative - pleomorphic adenoma, lymphoma, adenoid cystic ca.
How do you differentiate between a Browns and Inferior Oblique palsy
In Brown’s syndrome you see a V pattern - (Recall the OBliques are working so they will Abbduct on up gaze . Whereas, in an inferior oblique palsy the abductors are not working so on upgaze when you are in upgaze they will adduct seeing an A pattern
