Absent Eyebrows And Eyelashes With Mental Retardation

Hall et al. (1974) reported 2 brothers with mental retardation, absence of eyebrows and eyelashes, progressive spastic quadriplegia, microcephaly, glaucoma, and small, beaked nose. One had had a 'cervical spinal cyst' removed at age 1 year and the second had occipital cranium bifidum occulatum. The parents were unrelated. They and 3 brothers were normal.
