Ectopia Lentis Et Pupillae

Description

Ectopia lentis et pupillae is a congenital hereditary disorder in which there is displacement of the lenses and the pupils, associated with other ocular anomalies, but without systemic manifestations. The condition is usually bilateral, with the lenses and pupils displaced in opposite directions (summary by Cruysberg and Pinckers, 1995). Additional signs include enlarged corneal diameter, increased corneal astigmatism, increased anterior chamber depth, thinning and flattening of the iris with loss of crypts, angle malformation caused by enlarged iris processes, persistent pupillary membrane, loss of zonular fibers, tilted disc, and increased axial length. Secondary manifestations include refractive errors, glaucoma, early cataract development, and retinal detachment. Membrane formation on the posterior aspect of the iris has been observed both in histologic sections and on ultrasound biomicroscopy (summary by Christensen et al., 2010).
