This study reports the distribution of SD-OCT data for patients with Marfan syndrome. Compared to a normative database, 18% of eyes with Marfan syndrome had RNFL thickness < 5% of the population.
A healthy infant girl presented with bilateral 1-mm anterior polar cataracts. Initial monitoring every 2 to 3 months was recommended, but she did not return until she was 16 months old, at which point the cataracts had prominent pyramidal growth with a significant cortical component (Figure). Her visual acuity was 0.64 cycle/cm OD using Teller acuity cards, and she would only fix and follow OS. The remainder of her examination was unremarkable, including B-scan ultrasonography of the posterior segment. She underwent lensectomy/anterior vitrectomy in each eye and used aphakic con-tact lenses. She was 3 years old at her last visit and had inconsistent follow-up and poor compliance with amblyopia management. Her visual acuity was 20/60 OD and 20/250 OS, complicated by a sensory left esotropia.Anterior pyramidal cataracts have been reported as unilateral or bilateral presentations at birth but may progress from typical polar opacities. There are no systemic associations. 1-3 Rarely, a spontaneous dehiscence of the pyramid into the anterior chamber may occur. 4,5
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
