Abstract:
An unusual case of bilateral lens coloboma and Alport-like glomerulonephritis is reported. In a 12-year-old boy and in several family members; Alport-like glomerulonephritis was diagnosed without deafness and without ocular signs of Alport syndrome. A bilateral lens coloboma however was observed in the propositus. To our knowledge this is the first reported case of lens coloboma with Alport-like glomerulonephritis.
