We present an update on the ophthalmic status of a female patient with biotinidase deficiency who has attended our clinic for over 30 years. She is the only reported case of juvenile-onset glaucoma associated with biotinidase deficiency. Her intraocular pressure, optic nerve appearance, and visual field defect have, however, remained stable throughout her follow-up. We feel that this patient's visual field defect is a result of optic atrophy due to biotinidase deficiency in early life rather than glaucomatous damage.
我们报告了一名患有生物素酶缺乏症的女性患者的眼科最新情况,该患者在我们诊所就诊已超过30年。她是唯一报告的与生物素酶缺乏症相关的青少年型青光眼病例。然而,在她的整个随访过程中,眼压、视神经外观和视野缺损一直保持稳定。我们认为该患者的视野缺损是由于早年生物素酶缺乏导致的视神经萎缩,而非青光眼性损害。
