PURPOSE: To report the clinical investigation of isolated @entity27208 involving a Senegalese family in order to appreciate its functional impact. OBSERVATIONS: This is a rural family comprised of 7 members. The sibship included three @entity1 and two @entity1 . One of the @entity1 , who lived in a distant zone, was unable to be examined. Of all the examined members of the family, only the father was unaffected by the illness. There was no consanguinity. The general medical examination was normal. The best-corrected visual acuity (VA) for the @entity1 was 2/10. For one of the @entity1 , BCVA was 8/10 for both eyes, and for the other, BCVA was 10/10 for the right eye and 8/10 for the left eye. The mother's VA was 10/10 and P2 without correction. @entity1714 and @entity940 were present in the 4 @entity1 of the sibship. During the examination, we noted the presence of small crystalline lenses, which were very round and presented an abnormal visibility of the lens equator and zonular fibers. The diagnosis of @entity27208 was confirmed by measurement of the lens diameters by ultrasound biomicroscopy. Complications were present in the @entity1 , including @entity726 and @entity4457 for the elder, and @entity2000 and @entity4457 for the younger daughter. The elder daughter was managed medically with @entity726 drops. The younger daughter received optical correction and a prophylactic Argon LASER treatment. The two @entity1 received optical correction. No treatment was recommended for the mother. CONCLUSION: @entity27208 is a rare condition. Some serious complications can lead to @entity4457 . A better multidisciplinary evaluation would allow for early detection and a better prognosis.
