  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A male child visited us for suspected amblyopia detected during a health-check program for 3-year-old children. He had myopia and superotemporal subluxation of the lens in both eyes. He was tall for his age. He showed enlarged valvular ring of the aorta, hyperflexibility of joints and no arachnodactyly. His urine was biochemically normal. The family history was negative. We diagnosed him with forme fruste of Marfan syndrome. when he was 6 years old, DNA analysis showed defects in fibrillin-1 gene, leading to the diagnosis of Marfan syndrome. His axial length was 24.0mm right and 23.4mm left. He still lacked manifest systemic signs of the syndrome. This case illustrates that bilateral lens luxation may be a manifestation of Marfan syn-drome even in the absence of systemic signs. DNA analysis may be definitive in the diagnosis of such in-stances.
