Abstract

An eleven-year-old boy visited the Department of Ophthalmology due to visual acuity loss accompanied by high intraocular tension in the left eye for one year. Besides glaucoma, the typical ocular manifestations of neurofibromatosis type 1 such as bilateral Lisch nodules of the iris, multiple patchy choroidal nodules and retinal microvascular abnormalities were identified, and Cafe-au-lait macules appeared on the body skin. Based on the medical history, clinical presentation and auxiliary examination results, the diagnosis of neurofibromatosis type 1 with secondary glaucoma in the left eye was confirmed.

1例男性11岁患儿因左眼视力差伴高眼压1年首诊于眼科。患儿左眼青光眼,伴有虹膜Lisch结节、多发脉络膜斑片状结节灶和视网膜微血管异常等眼部表现及全身皮肤多处散在牛奶咖啡色斑。结合患儿病史、临床表现、辅助检查结果确诊为Ⅰ型神经纤维瘤病,左眼继发性青光眼。.
