Objective:
To present a case of Alport syndrome, its pathogenesis, etiology, clinical manifestation, diagnosis, and management.
Methods:
This is a case report.
Results:
A 22-year-old male presented with blurring of vision associated with bilateral anterior and posterior lenticonus. The patient had a history of blurring
of vision on both eyes, occasional right lower-quadrant pain on urination,
frothy urine, and bilateral hearing loss. Family medical history showed one
brother who died at 15 years of heart disease, and another brother at 17 from
chronic kidney disease. Slitlamp examination showed a conspicuous oil droplet reflex seen through retroillumination. Anterior and posterior bulging of
the lens was noted, highly suggestive of anterior and posterior lenticonus.
On indirect ophthalmoscopy, no perimacular dot-and-fleck retinopathy was
seen. Further systemic workup revealed elevated serum levels of blood urea
nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine, and marked proteinuria and hematuria.
Ultrasound of the kidneys revealed bilateral renal parenchymal disease. Pure
tone audiometry confirmed bilateral moderate sensorineural hearing loss.
Conclusions
There should be a high index of suspicion for Alport syndrome in any
patient presenting with anterior and posterior lenticonus. A thorough
history-taking and physical examination, including slitlamp examination
through a dilated pupil, are necessary to fully support its diagnosis. There is
no specifically defined treatment for Alport’s syndrome; management should
be individualized and approached in a multidisciplinary fashion. Lenticonus
can be treated by phacoemulsification with careful capsulorrhexis.
