Ophthalmologic Symptoms in a Patient With Autosomal Dominant Multicentric Carpotarsal Osteolysis

Purpose: The purpose of this case report was to provide a detailed description of the ocular manifestations, in a patient with multicentric carpotarsal osteolysis (MCTO), with particular emphasis on bilateral corneal opacities.

Methods: A 43-year-old woman with a history of MCTO was followed with visual acuity assessment and slit-lamp examination at the Department of Ophthalmology in the University Hospitals of Leuven.

Results: The patient was found to have bilateral subepithelial haze, along with anterior stromal corneal opacities, and small central lens opacities upon examination. There was a slight corneal thickening. A progression of the corneal opacities was observed, without a further drop in visual acuity.

Conclusions: This case report shows a rare association between MCTO and corneal opacities in adulthood. Interdisciplinary care involving an ophthalmologist is beneficiary for patients with MCTO.
