Atopic erythroderma with bilateral cataract, unilateral keratoconus and iridocyclitis, and undescended testes.

VIDAL (1886) first described cataract in young patients subject to attacks of pruritis followed by lichenification and associated with asthma. Andogsky (1914) described four cases of unclassified skin disease with cataract as 'dermatogenous cataract', and Kugelberg (1934) used the term 'syndermatotic juvenile cataract'. Brunsting (1936) reported ten cases of atopic dermatitis with juvenile cataract. Karel, Myska, and Kvicalova (1965) found three cases of atopic cataract among 128 patients suffering from atopic dermatitis. McDannald (1943) and Berliner (1944) each found one case of associated keratoconus, and Norins and Field (1964) reported a case of atopic dermatitis, atopic cataract, and keratoconus. Though cataract with atopic dermatitis is not rare, the combination with keratoconus, iridocyclitis, and undescended testes as in the present case could not be found in the literature.
