* Oliver-McFarlane syndrome in a chinese boy: retinitis pigmentosa, trichomegaly, hair anomalies and mental retardation.
- We report a male patient with retinitis pigmentosa, growth failure, long eyelashes, and sparse hair, which are typical signs of Oliver-McFarlane syndrome. The patient was born to healthy parents and developed night blindness at 2 years of age. Retinitis pigmentosa was diagnosed when he was 5 years old. To date, only 11 cases of Oliver-McFarlane syndrome have been documented, with the present case being the 12th overall and the first in China. Thus, the existence of typical Oliver-McFarlane syndrome in Asians was verified.
