Abstract
PURPOSE
To report the case of a child with triple X syndrome presenting with exotropia and chorioretinal coloboma. CASE SUMMARY: A one-year-old female infant presented with 35PD exotropia in the primary position. The patient had poor fixation of the right eye, and a fundus examination showed chorioretinal coloboma in the inferior region of her right eye. The patient also exhibited syndactyly of the right hand. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed a well-defined 2 cm cyst in the right cerebellum. Upon chromosomal study, the patient's karyotype was found to be 47, XXX. CONCLUSIONS: When infants or children present with ophthalmologic findings such as strabismus and coloboma, systemic conditions and congenital problems should be considered.
Key Words: Chorioretinal coloboma;Triple X syndrome
