AI Article Synopsis
- Oculocerebrocutaneous syndrome is characterized by orbital cysts, microphthalmia/anophthalmia, skin defects, and central nervous system malformations, with around 20 sporadic cases documented so far.
- A 19-year-old patient, one of the original two cases described in 1981, has been followed long-term, offering insights into the condition's progression.
- A new case involved an infant with severe symptoms, including bilateral anophthalmia and brain malformations, who tragically died at 10 months, highlighting the syndrome's complexity and its distinction from related conditions.
Article Abstract
Oculocerebrocutaneous syndrome consists essentially of orbital cysts and microphthalmia/anophthalmia, focal dermal defects, skin appendages and malformations of the central nervous system. Up to now, about 20 sporadic cases have been reported. Limited information is available on the clinical spectrum and on the natural history. We present the long-term follow-up of a 19 year-old patient who was one of the first two patients described by Delleman and Oorthuys in 1981. Furthermore, we report on a new case presenting with bilateral anophthalmia and orbital cysts, typical skin lesions, a complex brain malformation and cleft lip palate. This infant died due to the severe cerebral malformations at the age of 10 months. Encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis, focal dermal hypoplasia and microphthalmia with linear skin defects (MLS) syndrome are discussed as the most important differential diagnostic entities.

Delleman-Oorthuys or oculocerebrocutaneous syndrome (OCCS) is an extremely rare condition which relies on three pillars of manifestations: ophthalmological, neurological, and dermatological. It was first described by Delleman and Oorthuys in 1981, and since then, very few other cases have been reported. We report the case of a 13-month-old boy, referred to an ophthalmological tertiary service for investigation of a microglobe with a cystic retrobulbar mass on translucency test.

Oculocerebrocutaneous syndrome (OCCS), also known as Delleman syndrome (DS), is a rare congenital anomaly featuring focal skin defects, orbital anomalies, and central nervous system malformations. Diagnosis of Delleman syndrome is based on the triad of eye, central nervous system (CNS), and cutaneous defects and confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging. A 23-day-old girl was referred to our department for brain imaging.

Introduction: Oculocerebrocutaneous syndrome (Delleman Oorthuys syndrome) (OMIM 164180) is a rare syndrome affecting eyes, skin, and central nervous system, and it is usually associated with microphthalmia.
Case Description: A 4-day old baby boy was referred to our hospital for the evaluation of buphthalmos in the left eye. His clinical evaluation was remarkable for oculocerebrocutaneous syndrome with congenital glaucoma in the left eye and microphthalmos in the right eye.

Background: Delleman-Oorthuys syndrome, also known as oculocerebrocutaneous syndrome, is a rare congenital anomaly with ocular, cerebral and cutaneous manifestations. So far, only 40 cases have been described.
Clinical Case: A 3-year-old female Nigerian child with no identifiable left eyeball, multiple left-sided facial skin defects and delayed developmental milestones but otherwise uneventful medical and family history was evaluated at the Ophthalmology and Paediatric Neurosurgery in Ibadan, Nigeria.

Due to the efforts of the clinical and scientific communities and boosted by recent advances in genetic technologies, we now understand the molecular mechanisms underlying most of the frequent and recognizable human malformation syndromes. However, some well-established human malformation syndromes remain without a molecular diagnosis despite intensive investigation. This issue of Seminars mines the phenotypic entries in OMIM and estimates that of the documented 2,034 unsolved entries likely to represent a rare genetic disease, only 160 are well-established and possibly amenable to investigation.
