Abstract
While Pfeiffer syndrome is clearly a rare disorder, affecting 15 of every 1 million births, there has been a series of publications reviewing the difficult differential diagnosis among Pfeiffer types and between the other acrocephalosyndactly syndromes. While these publications individually focus on a variety of specific systemic and ocular implications of the syndrome, together they encompass the scope of the syndrome. Since Pfeiffer syndrome mainly affects the craniofacial regions, the eye care professional plays an essential role in diagnosis and management. What follows are guidelines to aid in the diagnosis, ophthalmic and functional testing, and management of this disorder.
