title: Combined cataract surgery on a Marfan-syndrome patient (case report).
abstract: Combined cataract surgery of an ectopic lens was performed on a 10 years old girl with Marfan-syndrome. A Cionni capsular tension ring was implanted into the capsular bag, and the bag was pulled to its place and fixed with a scleral suture. Because of the young age of the patient a primary posterior capsulorhexis was performed, through which anterior vitrectomy was carried out and the artificial lens was implanted into the capsular bag. In the literature several surgical solutions are advised for the treatment of the ectopic lens in patients with Marfan-syndrome. We have performed a successful surgery combined with posterior capsulorhexis in our case. Because of its rarity and special surgical solution, we think this case report is interesting and can be helpful in such cases to be published.
