ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Knobloch syndrome (KNO, OMIM # 267,750) is a rare ciliopathy group sydrome characterized by a collagen synthesis disorder. It represents an uncommon cause of pediatric retinal detachment. This report presents two cases with different COL18A1 gene mutations, complicated by retinal detachment. CASE PRESENTATION Both cases exhibited high myopia and various degrees of occipital skull defect. The first case, a female, had bilateral congenital retinal detachment, posterior embryotoxon, and strabismus. The second case, a male, had unilateral congenital retinal detachment and neuromotor developmental delay. The first case, diagnosed in the early months of life, underwent successful retinal reattachment surgery. However, surgery was not performed on the second case, who presented with late-stage unilateral retinal detachment and pre-phthisis.CONCLUSIONS:
The report describes two patients with Knobloch syndrome, one of whom responded favorably to surgery for retinal detachment in both eyes. Successful anatomical results were achieved with early surgical interventions. It is essential to recognize the phenotypic and genetic heterogeneity within KNO.Palavras-chave
