Abstract
We report the case of a 23-year-old male patient, born of a first-degree consanguineous union, who presented with a history of bilateral visual impairment since childhood and a progressive decline in visual acuity. Ophthalmologic examination revealed bilateral ectopia lentis associated with microspherophakia, zonular dehiscence, and elevated intraocular pressure. Systemic evaluation uncovered multiple clinical features consistent with Weill-Marchesani syndrome, a rare connective tissue disorder. The patient underwent phacophagia with implantation of an iris-fixated intraocular lens, followed by visual rehabilitation and physiotherapy aimed at preventing long-term complications associated with the syndrome.
