  • Title: Melnick-Needles syndrome.
    Author: Perry LD, Edwards WC, Bramson RT.
    Journal: J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus; 1978; 15(4):226-30. PubMed ID: 105122.
    Abstract:
    A 10-year-old female with a generalized bone dysplasia was found to have a rare condition, Melnick-Needles syndrome. Characteristic clinical features of this syndrome include exophthalmos, hypertelorism, micrognathia, malaligned teeth, and large ears in a person with multiple bone deformities. In addition to the usual characteristic clinical findings, sclerocornea and cornea plana were also present in this patient. This is the first case of Melnick-Needles syndrome reported in the ophthalmological literature and the first case reported with ophthalmological findings other than exophthalmos and strabismus.
