Phenotypic heterogeneity may occur in congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles.

The British journal of ophthalmology - 1 Jun 1998

Reck A C, Manners R, Hatchwell E

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles (CFEOM) is an autosomal dominant, non-progressive disorder characterised by congenital ptosis and external ophthalmoplegia. CFEOM has previously been divided into several clinical entities; general fibrosis syndrome, strabismus fixus...
