Ocular manifestations are sometimes observed in individuals diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder characterized primarily by intrauterine growth retardation, postnatal growth failure, and distinctive facial features. These eye-related characteristics may include, but are not limited to, subtle differences in eye size, shape, or positioning, which can contribute to the overall clinical presentation of the syndrome. The presence and severity of these features can vary significantly from person to person.
Recognition of these subtle ocular differences is important for a comprehensive clinical evaluation and diagnosis. Identifying these features, along with other clinical findings, aids in differentiating the syndrome from other growth disorders. While not typically the most prominent feature, their consideration can contribute to a more accurate and timely diagnosis, potentially leading to earlier intervention and management strategies. Historical observations have documented the variable presence of these characteristics.
