Harboyan Syndrome

Very rare condition characterized by corneal opacities present at birth and later-onset deafness.

Corneal Dystrophy Perceptive Deafness.

Very rare; autosomal recessive inheritance. Gene located on 20p13.

Features involve eyes (corneal clouding or opacity, abnormal corneal structure, severe visual loss, glaucoma, buphthalmos). Sensory neural deafness also occurs but later in age.

Avoid ototoxic drugs. Eye care protection is necessary because of buphthalmos. Medications that might increase eye pressure, such as atropine, succinylcholine, and ketamine, should be avoided.
