Clinical, histopathological, and genetic aspects in one case of ligneous conjunctivitis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Wildervanck Syndrome (WS; cervico-oculo-acoustic syndrome) consists of Duane retraction syndrome (DRS), the Klippel-Feil anomaly, and congenital deafness. It is much more common in females than males and could be due to an X-linked mutation that is lethal to hemizygous males. We present the genetic evaluatio...
