Bilateral retinal detachment in werner syndrome.
[werner syndrome]
To
report
the
development
of
bilateral
retinal
detachment
in
a
patient
with
Werner
syndrome
.
Retrospective
chart
review
.
A
44
-
year
-old
woman
diagnosed
with
Werner
syndrome
developed
bilateral
retinal
detachment
.
The
fundus
in
both
eyes
showed
patchy
chorioretinal
atrophy
similar
to
that
seen
in
high
myopia
,
with
the
retinal
detachment
limited
to
the
posterior
pole
.
Two
weeks
after
performing
vitrectomy
in
the
right
eye
,
vitrectomy
was
performed
in
the
left
eye
.
After
the
surgeries
,
both
retinas
were
reattached
.
During
the
surgeries
,
we
observed
an
excessively
liquefied
vitreous
and
a
posterior
hyaloid
membrane
that
was
tightly
attached
to
the
retina
.
The
retinal
break
was
located
along
the
superotemporal
arcade
and
over
an
area
of
the
patchy
chorioretinal
atrophy
in
both
eyes
.
The
chorioretinal
atrophy
and
vitreous
liquefaction
appeared
to
be
excessive
for
the
patient
's
age
and
axial
lengths
(
right
:
26
.
66
mm
,
left
:
27
.
04
mm
)
.
Vitreoretinal
changes
found
in
this
case
might
have
been
partially
because
of
the
premature
aging
associated
with
Werner
syndrome
.
