Abstract

The combination of pulmonary agenesis and anophtalmia or microphthalmia has been described previously. This condition is known as Matthew-Wood syndrome and PDAC syndrome (pulmonary hypoplasia/agenesis, diaphragmatic hernia/eventration, aophthalmia/microphthalmia, and cardiac defect). We report a sporadic case of female infant with the combination of bilateral microphthalmia, unilateral right pulmonary agenesis and diaphragmatic eventration in addition to atrial septal defect (ASD) suggesting PDAC syndrome.
