Abstract :

Alport syndrome is an oculorenal syndrome characterized by a triad of clinical findings consisting of haemorrhagic nephritis, sensorineural heå loss and characteristic ocular findings which include anterior lenticonus,fleck retinopathy and posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy We report a case of two siblings who presented to us with similar features of anterior lenticonus and fleck retinopathy.Anterior lenticonus was evident on both ophthalmoscopy and slit lamp examination. Ocular examination is particularly helpful in diagnosis of Alports syndrome when genetic testing is not easily available or results are inconclusive.
