Abstract To the Editor.— In a recent issue of the Archives (95:176, 1967) Dr. William Reed and his co-authors presented an excellent discussion of pigmentary disorders associated with congenital deafness. In one of their color plates (Fig 2), however, there is a photograph of a boy with the Klein-Waardenburg syndrome. The red chorioidal reflex is quite prominent in the photograph. The authors suggest that this is "presumably due to a reduction of the retinal pigment."Although I do not know the exact manner in which the photograph was made, the symmetrical shadow behind the head suggests that the light source was directly in front of the patient. I would, therefore, like to offer an alternate explanation for the prominence of the red reflex in this case. It is a common problem among photographers, and is known as "red-eye." It is seen in many full-face color portraits, especially of children, http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Archives of Dermatology American Medical Association
