Serous-Exudative Detachment and Progressive Macular Degeneration in a Patient With Kabuki and Marfan Syndrome

Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. 2024 Sep;55(9):541-544. doi: 10.3928/23258160-20240624-01. Epub 2024 Aug 1.

Abstract

To our knowledge, this is the first report of a patient with both genetically confirmed Kabuki and Marfan syndrome demonstrating a perifoveal macular degeneration in one eye. Progressive loss of the outer retinal layers was captured and demonstrated with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography imaging. Fundus autofluorescence imaging revealed perifoveal hypoautofluorescence. The patient had initially presented with a spontaneously resolved serous-exudative retinal detachment associated with tortuous retinal vasculature and preretinal proliferative vitreoretinopathy in the other eye. Prior to presentation, the patient had an ocular history of bilateral ectopia lentis treated with crystalline lens removal and placement of iris-claw intraocular lenses.
