[A case report of congenital osteogenesis imperfacta with corneal ectasia].

ABSTRACT

An 8-year-old male patient was admitted to ophthalmology for bilateral progressive blurred vision for 5 years. He had a history of multiple spontaneous fractures. Ocular examination revealed best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 0.5 in the right eye and 0.6 in the left eye. Slitlamp examination showed bilateral blue sclerae, thining of the entire cornea and corneal ectasia. General physical examination demonstrated multi-site ligamentous laxity. The diagnosis of osteogenesis imperfacta was made. The patient was advised to wear rigid gas permeable contact lens with large diameter and stabilized peripheral curve, and the BCVA achieved 0.8 for both eyes.
