Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is associated with a wide variety of ocular and systemic disorders. The Weill-Marchesani syndrome is a multi-system disorder with microspherophakia as one of the common manifestations. A 14-year-old girl presented with short stature, short and stubby fingers, hypodontia and low-set ears. Slit-lamp examination revealed microspherophakia, with shallow anterior chambers with irido and phacodonesis. Ultrasonographic biomicroscopy confirmed the clinical findings and revealed hypoplastic ciliary body. Electroretinogram confirmed the diagnosis of RP. Though RP has been associated with ectopia lentis in earlier reports, this is, to the best of our knowledge, the first case report describing the association of RP and Weill-Marchesani syndrome.
色素性视网膜炎(RP)与多种眼部和全身疾病相关。韦尔-马切桑尼综合征是一种多系统疾病,晶状体小球是其常见表现之一。一名14岁女孩,身材矮小,手指短粗,牙齿发育不全,耳朵低位。裂隙灯检查显示晶状体小球,前房浅,伴有虹膜震颤和晶状体震颤。超声生物显微镜检查证实了临床发现,并显示睫状体发育不全。视网膜电图确诊为RP。尽管早期报告中RP与晶状体异位有关,但据我们所知,这是第一例描述RP与韦尔-马切桑尼综合征关联的病例报告。
