Aplasia cutis-myopia syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by a combination of aplasia cutis congenita, high myopia, and dysfunction of the cone-rods. [1] Other findings include congenital nystagmus, atrophy of the iris and pigment epithelium, easily scarred skin and keratoconus. [2] Only 4 cases (from the United Kingdom [3] and Israel, [4] respectively) have been described in medical literature. Transmission is either autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive. [5]
