  • Title: [Ocular changes in the Williams-Beuren syndrome].
    Author: Halás M, Bzdúch V.
    Journal: Cesk Oftalmol; 1991 May; 47(3):178-82. PubMed ID: 1913907.
    Abstract:
    One of the signs of Williams-Beuren syndrome are typical opthalmological findings. In a group of 13 patients with this disease, in 7 esotropia was detected, in 8 a star-shaped iris and in 9 hyperopia. Three children had yellowish opalescent spots in the stroma of the cornea and in one patient cataracta punctata was found. A tortuous course of the retinal vessels was found in three patients, incl. two with elevated arterial pressure. Detection of these ophthalmological changes can contribute to the correct diagnosis of Williams-Beuren's syndrome.
