Abstract

ABSTRACT

The manifestations of fetal varicella syndrome usually involve several organ systems, including skin, ocular, neurologic, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary. Although ocular anomalies have been reported to be as high as 68%, manifestations limited to the eyes is extremely rare. Herein we report the case of fetal varicella syndrome with no clinical signs other than esotropia and a chorioretinal scar.
