Cryptophthalmos--syndactyly syndrome.

A 5 months old female baby was presented with congenital abnormality at the outpatients' department. She had syndactyly of proximal and middle phalanges of middle and ring fingers of both the hands and third and fourth toes of right foot. Ocular examination showed absent eyebrows and eyelashes and shallow orbits. The diagnosis was made of cryptophthalmos--syndactyly syndrome. She was operated upon. The outcome of the operation was very poor and the end result was disappointing.
