  • Title: Branchio-oculo-facial syndrome with bilateral linear scars of the neck.
    Author: El Darouti MA, Marzouk SA, Azzam OA, Nada HR, Sobhi RM, El Nabarawi I.
    Journal: Int J Dermatol; 2005 Aug; 44(8):674-6. PubMed ID: 16101871.
    Abstract:
    A case of branchio-oculo-facial syndrome with bilateral linear scars affecting both sides of the neck is described. The disease occured in a male patient aged 20 years and presented with facial asymmetry, pre and postauricular pits, lip pits, microphthalmia, broad malformed nose, colobomas and dystrophic right kidney. In addition, there were bilateral linear hypertrophic scars on both sides of the neck. We believe that the latter lesions may represent the end stage of dermal thymus; a rare condition which has been reported so far in only four cases, two of which had branchio-oculo-facial syndrome.
