Vitreoretinochoroidopathy with microcornea, glaucoma and cataract must be considered to be a distinctively autosomal dominant affection. The authors present evidence in the form of 18 carriers of the same anomaly detected with a pedigree extending up to six generations. Microcornea and vitreoretinochoroidal dystrophy are the prime characteristics; hypertonia and cataract are induced complications. The syndrome may be attributed to a hereditary dysgenesis affecting the anterior part of the globe with trabecular and preequatorial corneal alterations. The dystrophy has a slow development as shown by the clinical and electroretinographic course. Present treatment only consists of controlling ocular hypertonia and cataract.
