Marfan's syndrome (MFS) is an autosomal dominant connective tissue disorder with defect in the fibrillin-1 gene. The most common ocular manifestation is subluxated lens in the superotemporal direction, accounting for 50%-85% of total cases. The association of lens coloboma with MFS has been described in literature, but the coexistence of lens coloboma with ectopia lentis is a rare feature. Here, we describe three cases of MFS including a case of bilateral lens coloboma with ectopia lentis: case 1 - a 39-year-old male with inferotemporal lens subluxation in the right eye and superotemporal lens subluxation in the left eye with open-angle glaucoma and high myopia, case 2 - a 15-year-old child with bilateral superonasal lens subluxation with lens coloboma, and case 3 - a 56-year-old female with bilateral lens coloboma. Case 1 and case 2 had clear lenses with good refractive correction; hence, they were optically rehabilitated with contact lenses, whereas case 3 was advised for cataract surgery. It is important to distinguish the lens coloboma from a more common entity, ectopia lentis as former usually remains stable while the latter might need a surgical intervention.
马凡综合征(MFS)是一种常染色体显性遗传性结缔组织疾病,由原纤维蛋白-1基因缺陷引起。最常见的眼部表现是晶状体向上颞侧半脱位,占所有病例的50%-85%。文献中已描述晶状体缺损与马凡综合征的关联,但晶状体缺损与晶状体异位并存是一种罕见特征。在此,我们报告3例马凡综合征病例,其中1例为双侧晶状体缺损伴晶状体异位:病例1为一名39岁男性,右眼晶状体向下颞侧半脱位,左眼晶状体向上颞侧半脱位,合并开角型青光眼和高度近视;病例2为一名15岁儿童,双侧晶状体向上鼻侧半脱位伴晶状体缺损;病例3为一名56岁女性,双侧晶状体缺损。病例1和病例2晶状体透明,屈光矫正良好,因此采用隐形眼镜进行光学矫正,而病例3建议行白内障手术。将晶状体缺损与更常见的晶状体异位区分开来很重要,因为前者通常保持稳定,而后者可能需要手术干预。
