We experienced a case of Patau syndrome in newborn infant who had bilateral microphthalmia, microcornea, corneal opacity, iris coloboma, cataract, dislocated lens, spherophakia, retianl fold and dysplasia, which are typical ocular anomalies of this syndrome previously described overseas but not reported in domestic. So, we report this case with a review of the literatures.
