摘要

Manifestations of Peters'-Plus syndrome include Peters' anomaly, short stature, small hands, mental retardation, abnormal ears and cleft lip and palate. lsquo;Kivlinrsquo; syndrome is a similar disorder involving Peters' anomaly, short stature, short limbs, delayed development, facial clefting some, ear abnormalities and a characteristic facial appearance attributable mainly to a lsquo;cupid's bowrsquo; shape of the upper lip. Two new adult cases of Peters'-Plus are described, and follow-up information on a previously reported case of lsquo;Kivlinrsquo; syndrome is presented. The syndromes are reviewed and it is concluded that they are the same autosomal recessively inherited disorder, which we suggest should be called Peters'-Plus syndrome.
