Abstract
A family with total (internal and external) ophthalmoplegia had associated iris transillumination. No abnormal visual-evoked response brain lateralization indicative of albinism was found. On the basis of avian chimera experiments showing iris muscles to be derived from neural crest cells, we proposed a neurocristopathic theory to explain all clinical findings in this family.
