Abstract
In recent years, a new syndrome involving degeneration of the corpus vitreum and retina, and dysplastic abnormalities of the bones (Stickler''s syndrome) was evaluated. The patients have a bad visual prognosis because of a tendency for uncurable retinal detachment. Several patients have glaucoma simplex, but only few descriptions of the angles of the anterior chamber were published. Two patients with typical malformations and abnormal angles of the anterior chamber are described. Goniodysgenesis is assumed to be part of the syndrome, and this symptom may be more common than assumed earlier.
