Within the heterogeneous group of microcephalies, a syndrome can be defined characterized by microcephaly, mental retardation, and chorioretinal dysplasia, often also with microphtalmia and embryonic remnants such as persistance of the primitive vitreum. Although this condition is usually considered autosomal recessive, the authors report a family observation consistent with dominant transmission.

D008831	Microcephaly	A congenital abnormality in which the CEREBRUM is underdeveloped, the fontanels close prematurely, and, as a result, the head is small. (Desk Reference for Neuroscience, 2nd ed.)

D012160	Retina	The ten-layered nervous tissue membrane of the eye. It is continuous with the OPTIC NERVE and receives images of external objects and transmits visual impulses to the brain. Its outer surface is in contact with the CHOROID and the inner surface with the VITREOUS BODY. The outer-most layer is pigmented, whereas the inner nine layers are transparent.	Ora Serrata
