Persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous and recessive oculo-dento-osseous dysplasia.

We report on a patient with oculo-dento-osseous dysplasia and bilateral persistence of the hyaloid system. Autosomal recessive inheritance may be the cause of this patient's condition since she was born to unaffected first-cousin parents. Ocular findings in the recessive variety of this syndrome seem to be more severe than those in the more common dominant form.
