Two children with abnormally long eyelashes and bushy brows ("trichomegaly") present at birth and associated with pigmentary degeneration of the retina and general growth retardation are described. This combination of findings has been observed previously in three cases. Mental retardation, sparse scalp hair, endocrinologic deficiencies and (in one of our cases) koilonychia may be found in addition, but not necessarily.
