We analyzed ocular and ultrasonographic findings of microphthalmos and associated ocular and systemic pathologies in 27 microphthalmic
eyes. A high incidence of consanguinous marriages (26%) was present among the parents of patients. Associated systemic abnormalities
were growth retardation, congenital rubella, cleft lip and palate, facial hemangioma, inguinal hernia, clinodactyly, Hurler
syndrome, Goltz–Gorlin syndrome and Hallermann–Streiff syndrome. A variety of ocular/systemic abnormalities were encountered.
Early ultrasonographic diagnosis and description of other ocular and systemic pathologies are essential.
