    Xeroderma pigmentosum, a rare genetic disorder, can cause severe eye problems including light sensitivity, eyelid spasms, and corneal tumors. This case highlights the significant ophthalmological impact of this condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Genetics
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by defective DNA repair, leading to extreme sensitivity to ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
    • XP significantly increases the risk of skin cancers and other associated health issues.

    Observation:

    • A 5-year-old girl from Yugoslavia presented with clinical manifestations of xeroderma pigmentosum.
    • Ophthalmological symptoms were prominent, including photophobia (light sensitivity), blepharospasm (involuntary eyelid closure), and a corneal tumor.

    Findings:

    • The case report details the specific ocular abnormalities observed in a patient with xeroderma pigmentosum.
    • A review of existing literature on xeroderma pigmentosum is presented, focusing on its ophthalmological manifestations.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the critical need for early ophthalmological evaluation in patients diagnosed with xeroderma pigmentosum.
    • Understanding the spectrum of ocular abnormalities in XP is crucial for timely diagnosis and management to prevent vision loss.
