Background: Microcephaly with or without chorioretinopathy, lymphedema, or mental retardation is a rare autosomal dominant disease caused by mutations in KIF11 which disrupt EG5 protein function, impacting the development and maintenance of retinal and lymphatic structures due to its expression in the retinal photoreceptor cilia. The primary ocular finding in MCLMR is chorioretinopathy. Additional features can include microphthalmia, angle-closure glaucoma, persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous, cataract, pseudo-coloboma, persistent hyaloid artery, and myopic or hypermetropic astigmatism.
