Three patients with Stickler syndrome are reported. Two of the patients were found among the 26 children attending a special pre‐school for the visually impaired. One of the patients had bilateral choanal atresia which may represent an extreme example of the mid‐facial hypoplasia commonly seen in these patients. It appears that Stickler syndrome may not be as rare as previously thought.
