Anterior Lenticonus Detected with Anterior Segment Imaging in a Patient with Systemic Manifestations

Abstract

Anterior lenticonus is a rare, progressive protrusion of the anterior lens surface, often associated with systemic conditions such as  Alport syndrome, which may present with renal dysfunction and sensorineural hearing loss. Early recognition is crucial for visual rehabilitation, timely surgical intervention, and systemic evaluation. Clinical diagnosis can be challenging, especially in subtle cases, and conventional slit-lamp examination may not provide sufficient detail on lens morphology. Advanced anterior segment imaging, such as the MS-39 system, allows for high resolution cross-sectional visualization of the lens, providing objective, reproducible documentation that can guide diagnosis and management.
