A 12-year-old boy with Kniest syndrome experienced vision loss and skeletal abnormalities. Surgical intervention for retinal detachment was performed, highlighting the complex presentation of this rare genetic disorder.

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Ophthalmology
  • Pediatrics

Background:

  • Kniest syndrome is a rare skeletal dysplasia characterized by short stature and distinctive facial features.
  • Ocular complications, including retinal detachment and cataracts, can significantly impact vision in affected individuals.

Observation:

  • A 12-year-old male presented with severe visual impairment, short stature, dysmorphic facial features, and skeletal abnormalities.
  • Clinical examination revealed bilateral retinal detachment and secondary cataracts.
  • Radiological surveys showed characteristic skeletal findings such as platyspondyly and enlarged epiphyses.

Findings:

  • Radiological features confirmed the diagnosis of Kniest syndrome.
  • The patient underwent pars plana lensectomy and vitreo-retinal surgery for retinal detachment.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of early diagnosis and multidisciplinary management for Kniest syndrome.
  • Prompt surgical intervention for ocular complications can help preserve vision in patients with skeletal dysplasias.
