Syndromic myopia in marfan’s disease: about a case with review of the literature

Abstract

Objective: To describe a case of myopic syndrome in Marfan disease. Results: The patient was 45 years old, with high myopia and wearing corrective lenses, with no previous history of any particular problem. She was seen for the management of a progressive bilateral decrease in visual acuity in a white, painless eye, with no history of trauma and no other associated signs. On the clinical examination, the corrected visual acuity was estimated at 02/10 in both eyes. The refraction revealed strong myopia at -11D. The examination of the lens after pupillary dilatation reveals a cortical cataract and upward crystalline ectopia in both eyes. At the posterior pole, there was a myopic cone, chorioretinal atrophy and poor macular reflex, with vessels of normal caliber. The retina was flat with no peripheral retinal tears
