RESUMO
We describe a newborn with congenital cystic eye, contralateral persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous, and cerebrocutaneous abnormalities. The cerebrocutaneous abnormalities consisted of agenesis of the corpus callosum, midbrain deformity, malformed sphenoid bone, right upper eyelid coloboma, and a left periocular hamartoma. The results of karyotype analysis of the patient and his parents were normal. The association of congenital cystic eye with contralateral persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous has not been previously reported, to our knowledge. Although no unifying diagnosis exists for the collection of anomalies demonstrated in this patient, the term cranial ectodermopathy broadly classifies most of the defects.

Frequently, patients with macular lesions and others who are visually handicapped do not receive adequate low vision care by ophthalmologists if a routine trial of low vision aids has no gratifying results. This paper describes for the first time a technique in which functional vision was achieved with the aid of prismatic scanning in patients for whom the usual low vision aids had proved ineffectual. The procedure in which prisms are used to achieve functional vision in patients with macular lesions in uncomplicated, inexpensive, and rapid; indeed, it can be used by an ophthalmologist in routine office practice with existing equipment.

Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is a disease of unknown etiology and pathogenesis which was first recognized by dermatologists. The ocular complications provide the primary concern and notably affect the iris, producing spontaneous hemorrhages in the anterior chamber. Secondary glaucoma and blindness are real threats unless the condition is recognized in the early stages and satisfactory treatment instituted. Other ocular manifestations include epibulbar lesions with corneal involvement and proptosis due to orbital lesions of JXG.
