Posterior lenticonus, corneal opacity, glaucoma and preretinal membrane in a young woman.
A case of posterior lenticonus with corneal opacity, glaucoma and preretinal membrane is presented. Gonioscopic findings and slit-lamp examination suggested that angle closure due to a large volume of the lens may have caused high intraocular pressure levels. Also, refractive error, exotropia and bilateral nystagmus were accompanied by posterior lenticonus in this case. Our case demonstrates a rare combination of abnormalities involving various ocular structures.
