  • Title: [Stickler's syndrome or hereditary progressive arthro-ophthalmopathy].
    Author: De la Chapelle AC, Manouvrier S, Dubos JP, Farriaux JP.
    Journal: Pediatrie; 1988; 43(4):305-7. PubMed ID: 3419872.
    Abstract:
    A case of Stickler's syndrome is reported. This syndrome associates eye defects, craniofacial and musculo-skeletal abnormalities, sensori-neural hearing loss and mitral-valve prolapse. It is an autosomal dominant disorder probably resulting from a connective tissue dysplasia. There is a major risk for the occurrence of serious ocular problems (blindness), and ophthalmologic follow-up has to be performed on affected persons and relatives in order to improve the long term prognosis.
