Abstract
Blodi (1957) and François (1958) recognized this syndrome as a distinct entity differing from the mandibulo-facial dysostosis (Franceschetti's syndrome). Although there are approximately 60 cases reported in the literature, only very few cases have been obtained for histological study. A report of a case with ophthalmopathological examination is given.
