Descripción
Sumario:Alport’s syndrome is an inherited disease characterized by hearing loss, progressive renal failure and ocular abnormalities like anterior lenticonus, corneal opacities, cataract, fleck retinopathies, and temporal retinal thinning. To have anterior and posterior lenticonus in the same eye in this syndrome is a rare finding and only a few such reports are available. Hereby, we report a case of a 22-year-old male with bilateral combined anterior and posterior lenticonus with sensorineural deafness and nephritis leading to the diagnosis of Alport’s syndrome.
