Indications and Outcomes of Select Vitreoretinal Surgery in Patients With Marfan Syndrome

<b>Purpose:</b> To report clinical indications and outcomes of select vitreoretinal surgery in patients with Marfan syndrome. <b>Methods:</b> A retrospective consecutive case series of patients with Marfan syndrome undergoing surgery was performed. Data collected included demographics, systemic and ocular history, refraction, and preoperative and postoperative examination findings. <b>Results:</b> Twenty-seven patients (39 eyes) with Marfan syndrome who underwent vitreoretinal surgery were included. Mean age at time of surgery was 37 years, and mean follow-up duration was 4 years. Surgical indications for patients with Marfan syndrome included visually significant crystalline lens subluxation (n = 25 eyes), rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) (n = 9 eyes), and dislocated intraocular lens implants (n = 5 eyes). Best-corrected visual acuity was 20/40 or better in 21 eyes undergoing surgery for lens subluxation. For patients undergoing surgery for RRD, anatomic reattachment was achieved by last follow-up in 8 eyes (89%). <b>Conclusions:</b> Pars plana lensectomy and vitrectomy for crystalline lens subluxation was the most common vitreoretinal surgery in patients with Marfan syndrome.
