Coats-type retinal telangiectasia in case of Kabuki make-up syndrome (Niikawa-Kuroki syndrome)

M Anandan et al. Ophthalmic Genet. 2005 Dec.

Abstract

Purpose: To report a case of Kabuki make-up syndrome (KMS) or Niikawa-Kuroki syndrome with Coats-type retinal telangiectasia, which has not been previously reported.

Methods: Observational case report.

Conclusions: There have been only two reports of retinal pigmentation abnormalities and a single case of bilateral macular deposits in KMS, but this is the first report of a Coats type retinal telangiectasia. This case highlights the importance of thorough posterior segment examination in cases of KMS.
