Marfan syndrome patients frequently experience retinal detachment due to lens dislocation and retinal holes. Scleral encircling surgery effectively reattached the retina in most cases.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Genetics
  • Retinal Diseases

Context:

  • Marfan syndrome is a genetic disorder affecting connective tissue.
  • Retinal detachment is a serious complication associated with Marfan syndrome.
  • High myopia and lens dislocation are common in affected individuals.

Purpose:

  • To review retinal detachment cases in Marfan syndrome patients.
  • To analyze predisposing factors and surgical outcomes.
  • To discuss surgical management and prognosis.

Summary:

  • Retinal detachment occurred in 16 eyes of 14 Marfan syndrome patients (mean age 25.1).
  • High myopia (9 cases) and lens dislocation (all cases) were prevalent.
  • Scleral encircling with external compression successfully reattached the retina in 14 out of 15 eyes.

Impact:

  • Highlights the high incidence of retinal detachment in Marfan syndrome.
  • Demonstrates the efficacy of scleral encircling for retinal reattachment.
  • Informs surgical strategies and prognosis for these patients.
