Spontaneous dislocation of a crystalline lens to the anterior chamber with pupillary block glaucoma in Noonan Syndrome: a case report

Abstract: We report a 13-year-old child with Noonan Syndrome who developed spontaneous dislocation of the crystalline lens in anterior chamber leading to pupillary block glaucoma in the left eye and subluxation of lens in right eye. Intracapsular extraction of the dislocated lens was done in the left eye. Prompt diagnosis and management is needed in such cases to avoid glaucoma and corneal endothelial cell damage. We could not find any such case after thorough Medline search.

“…We have nine etiologies about retinal diseases related to ACG, they were RP, bestrophinopathy, PFV, congenital retinoschisis, ROP, FEVR, congenital retinal folds, Coat's disease, and NVG due to RVO, PDR, and RD, altogether 35 patients (11.7%). Other reported etiologies such as Turner syndrome [47], Noonan syndrome [48], Alagille syndrome [49], childhood cystinosis [50], and drug-related [51] were not found in our patients.…”

“…The surgical techniques described in the literature for management of anterior dislocation of the lens include intracapsular cataract extraction (ICCE), lensectomy, and in the bag bimanual lens aspiration [1,2,[4][5][6][7]. Lens aspiration within the capsular bag has been described previously by Vasavada et al, Sinha et al, and Khokhar et al for various indications [1,7,8] (Table 2).…”

“…Early surgical intervention is warranted in these cases to avoid long-term blinding complications like corneal decompensation and glaucoma [1]. The management of such cases requires a comprehensive approach as most of these cases are associated with some systemic abnormalities such as Marfan syndrome, Weill Marchesini syndrome, Noonan syndrome, Homocystinuria that further complicate the management strategy in these cases [1][2][3][4].…”
