Bilateral spontaneous scierai perforation in Marfan's syndrome

Abstract

Ocular manifestations of Marfan's syndrome include lens subluxation, retinal detachment, and myopia. Scleral perforation after trabeculectomy and scierai buckling procedure have been reported but spontaneous perforation is rare. This report is of a patient with Marfan's syndrome who had bilateral spontaneous scleral perforation. Surgical repair of the defect with frozen scierai graft was required. © 2006 Scientific Communications International Limited.link_to_subscribed_fulltex
