Retinal disinsertion syndrome: report of a case
Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus
|September 1, 1979
Summary
Retinal disinsertion syndrome can occur with lens subluxation, microphthalmos, and keratoconus. This rare condition may be indicated by total retinal detachment in infants with microphthalmic eyes.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Genetics
- Pediatric Medicine
Background:
- Retinal disinsertion syndrome is a rare condition.
- Associated ocular anomalies can include lens subluxation, microphthalmos, and keratoconus.
Observation:
- A case report details a 31-year-old patient with mental retardation presenting with retinal disinsertion syndrome.
- The patient exhibited associated anomalies such as subluxation of the lens, microphthalmos, and bilateral keratoconus.
Findings:
- The case highlights the spectrum of clinical presentations for retinal disinsertion syndrome.
- The co-occurrence of these anomalies provides further insight into the syndrome's pathology.
Implications:
- Early recognition of retinal disinsertion syndrome is crucial for timely intervention.
- This case underscores the importance of considering this syndrome in infants with unexplained blindness, microphthalmia, and retinal detachment.
