1Department of Ophthalmology, Louisiana State University Medical School- Shreveport 71130-3932, USA.
Purpose/Methods:
A variety of ocular and periocular manifestations have been described in Noonan syndrome. Collagen abnormalities have been described; however, to our knowledge spontaneous corneal rupture has not been reported. A forty-three-year-old female who presented with spontaneous corneal rupture was later diagnosed as having Noonan syndrome.
Results/Conclusions:
Collagen abnormalities have been described with Noonan syndrome and this is likely the cause of corneal rupture in this patient.
