ABSTRACT
Although the condition was probably first described by Thompson in 1846 (1), Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS) is eponymously named after the ophthalmologist E.Treacher Collins, who described the essential components of the syndrome in 1900 (2). However, Franceschetti and Klein, who used the term mandibulofacial dysostosis to describe the facial appearance, detailed the first complete description of the condition (3).
