Choroidal calcifications in two cases of aplasia cutis congenita and oculoectodermal syndrome.

PURPOSE

To describe choroidal calcifications as an ophthalmic feature in aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) with oculoectodermal syndrome (OES).

OBSERVATIONS

Two cases of ACC/OES with characteristic echographic evidence of choroidal calcifications are described.

CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE

The ophthalmic manifestations of ACC/OES may be expanded to include choroidal calcifications. The presence of a choroidal calcification with B-scan ultrasound in a case suspicious for ACC/OES may facilitate a more timely diagnosis and inform future follow-up regimens to monitor ophthalmic and systemic manifestations of this disease.
