Abstract
Congenital fibrosis syndrome is inherited autosomal-dominantly and exh ibited in infancy as blepharoptosis, fixed hypodeviation of both eyes, chin elevation, and convergence nystagmus on attempted gaze. We repor t 3 cases of congenital fibrosis syndrome! in a family with characteri stic features. This article discusses the results of radiologic examin ation of the patients' central nervous system and the pathophysiologic mechanism of these nystagmoid movements.
