    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Spherophakia and glaucoma in a sibling pair was treated with vitreous aspiration and air injection. While one eye responded, the other required further intervention, potentially including lens extraction.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Spherophakia, a rare condition causing lens dislocation, can lead to secondary glaucoma.
    • Genetic predisposition is suggested in familial cases of spherophakia and glaucoma.

    Observation:

    • A 35-year-old male presented with spherophakia and glaucoma, a condition also present in two siblings.
    • Initial treatment involved vitreous aspiration via posterior sclerotomy and anterior chamber air insufflation.

    Findings:

    • The right eye achieved pressure control after a single surgical procedure.
    • The left eye remained uncontrolled despite iridectomy, multiple sclerotomies, and air insufflations.
    • Further vitrectomy and air insufflation are proposed for the left eye, with lens extraction as a potential subsequent step.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the challenges in managing familial spherophakia with glaucoma.
    • Aggressive surgical management, including vitrectomy and potential lens extraction, may be necessary for refractory cases.
    • Understanding the genetic basis of this condition is crucial for early diagnosis and management.
