Ophthalmologic Symptoms in a Patient With Autosomal Dominant Multicentric Carpotarsal Osteolysis.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this case report was to provide a detailed description of the ocular manifestations, in a patient with multicentric carpotarsal osteolysis (MCTO), with particular emphasis on bilateral corneal opacities.

METHODS

A 43-year-old woman with a history of MCTO was followed with visual acuity assessment and slit-lamp examination at the Department of Ophthalmology in the University Hospitals of Leuven.

RESULTS

The patient was found to have bilateral subepithelial haze, along with anterior stromal corneal opacities, and small central lens opacities upon examination. There was a slight corneal thickening. A progression of the corneal opacities was observed, without a further drop in visual acuity.

CONCLUSIONS

This case report shows a rare association between MCTO and corneal opacities in adulthood. Interdisciplinary care involving an ophthalmologist is beneficiary for patients with MCTO.
