Bilateral retinopathy, aplastic anaemia, and central nervous system abnormalities: A new syndrome?

Journal of Medical Genetics, Volume 29, No. 9, Year 1992

A male infant was found to have bilateral exudative retinopathy at 6 months of age. A month later severe aplastic anaemia was diagnosed, eventually leading to the infant's death. Additional features of this seemingly new syndrome were intrauterine growth retardation, fine sparse hair, fine reticulate skin pigmentation, ataxia because of cerebellar hypoplasia, cerebral calcifications, extensor hypertonia, and progressive psychomotor retardation.
