SYNOPSIS
A family is described with Hutchinsonian teeth and segmental and posterior sutural cataracts; an hereditary X‐linked basis for both anomalies is suggested. The carrier state in this oculodental syndrome is recognisable by the presence of posterior, sutural, punctuate, opacities in the lens and less pronounced dental abnormalities.
EDITORIAL SYNOPSIS
A review of case reports from the literature and patients personally studied by the authors delineates the natural history of the condition, indicating that if early complications are successfully managed spontaneous involution of the tumour may be expected, radical surgery minimized and later cosmetic surgery achieve a satisfactory result.
