Lens subluxation with stretched ciliary processes in a girl with Goltz syndrome.

Abstract

Purpose: To report lens subluxation with additional stretching of the ciliary processes as ocular features of Goltz syndrome.

Methods: Case report.

Results: A now 4-year old girl was diagnosed at birth with Goltz syndrome. Best-corrected visual acuity was 1/60 in both eyes. Slitlamp examination showed bilateral iris colobomata and inferior subluxation of the lens with abnormally stretched ciliary processes. Funduscopy revealed bilateral chorioretinal and optic disc colobomata.

Conclusions: Ocular anomalies are often associated with Goltz syndrome. Although ectopia lentis is a known ocular feature, this is the first case of lens subluxation with additional, abnormally stretched ciliary processes.
