Autosomal recessive eye and brain anomalies: Warburg syndrome. 1983

R A Pagon, and S K Clarren, and D F Milam, and A E Hendrickson

Two siblings are reported who appear to have an autosomal recessive disorder of eye and central nervous system anomalies. The findings in fourteen previously described and similarly affected patients are summarized. Ocular anomalies include microphthalmos, megalocornea, the Peter anomaly, cataract, coloboma, persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous, and retinal detachment with retinal dysplasia. Central nervous system malformations include agyria-pachygyria, cerebellar dysplasia, encephalocele, Dandy-Walker cyst, and hydrocephalus. We suggest that this disorder be known as Warburg syndrome.
