Marfan syndrome ocular manifestations. Allen RA Straatsma BR Apt L Hall MO. Marfan syndrome typically has skeletal ocular and cardiovascular abnormalities. Trans Am Acad Ophthalmol Otolaryngol.
Structural and biometric ocular characteristic were compared. The main ocular symptoms of MFS are the following. Ocular manifestations of Marfan syndrome in children and adolescents Iris transillumination defects and ectopia lentis are characteristic ocular findings in children and adolescents with Marfan syndrome.
Marfan syndrome is a widespread disorder of connective tissue. The globe is elongated creating an axial myopia and increasing the risk of rhegmatogenous retinal detachments. Iris transillumination defects and ectopia lentis are characteristic ocular findings in children and adolescents with Marfan syndrome.
It is characterized by systemic and ocular features due to mutations in the fibrillin gene. 4 Up to 54 of MFS patients have major ocular involvement 5 and ocular findings may be crucial in establishing the diagnosis. Awareness and prompt recognition of the ocular complications of Marfan syndrome may enable improvement and preservation of sight.
Awareness and prompt recognition of the ocular complications of Marfan syndrome may enable improvement and preservation of sight. 1 2 Ocular manifestations of MFS are common including transillumination defects increased axial length AL decreased corneal curvature greater corneal astigmatism and myopia. Introduction Marfan syndrome MFS is an autosomal dominant connective tissue disorder caused by mutations in the fibrillin gene FBN1.
Other ocular manifestations of Marfan syndrome include flattened cornea causing astigmatism keratoconus increased globe length causing myopia iris coloboma cataracts glaucoma strabismus amblyopia and vascular malformations. MFS eyes were longer axial length 2425 174 mm versus 2389 131 mm p 0001 and had a flatter cornea than control eyes mean keratometry 4178 180 diopters D versus 4305 151 D p 0001. Myopia is more common and corneal curvature central corneal thickness and visual acuity are reduced in Marfan syndrome eyes.
Gastrointestinal manifestations in Marfan syndrome is not known the frequency of these reports suggests that these complications may be relatively uncommon as compared to more commonly seen cardiac ophthalmic or skeletal manifestations but are importan t for clinicians to be aware of as failure. Myopia is more common and corneal curvature central corneal thickness and visual acuity are reduced in Marfan syndrome eyes.

Marfan syndrome is a widespread disorder of connective tissue. The main ocular symptoms of MFS are the following. Blurred vision and monocular diplopia caused by progressive lens subluxation and resulting severe astigmatism 2. Marfan syndrome is a widespread disorder of connective tissue. Aortic dissection and the eye. Gastrointestinal manifestations in Marfan syndrome is not known the frequency of these reports suggests that these complications may be relatively uncommon as compared to more commonly seen cardiac ophthalmic or skeletal manifestations but are importan t for clinicians to be aware of as failure. Ocular manifestations of the Marfan syndrome.
Introduction Marfan syndrome MFS is an autosomal dominant connective tissue disorder caused by mutations in the fibrillin gene FBN1. Awareness and prompt recognition of the ocular complications of Marfan syndrome may enable improvement and preservation of sight. Potentially severe ocular complications of. Marfan syndrome is a widespread disorder of connective tissue. Other ocular manifestations of Marfan syndrome include flattened cornea causing astigmatism keratoconus increased globe length causing myopia iris coloboma cataracts glaucoma strabismus amblyopia and vascular malformations. Manifestations of MFS affect multiple organ systems including skeletal muscle skin the cardiovascular system eg. Myopia is more common and corneal curvature central corneal thickness and visual acuity are reduced in Marfan syndrome eyes.
