Ocular Manifestations Of Cystinosis Case Report And Review Of Literature Dr. Jagannath Boramani
This document presents a case report of a 63-year-old male with non-nephropathic cystinosis who presented with longstanding photophobia, glare, and foreign body sensation in his eyes. On examination, punctate needle-shaped crystals were diffusely present throughout the cornea. Diagnosis was confirmed by an elevated level of serum cystine. The document also provides background on cystinosis as a rare metabolic disorder characterized by intracellular cystine accumulation. Corneal crystal deposition is a pathognomonic manifestation and advances with age, initially causing asymptomatic crystals and later photophobia, punctate keratopathy, and blurred vision. Treatment involves cysteamine therapy to reduce cystine levels.

A much-quoted aphorism in medicine is “Listen to your patient and they are telling you the diagnosis”. Most often, the history reveals the diagnosis and sometimes, it is all that is required to make the diagnosis. Unfortunately, in this age of modern technology-based medicine, many busy clinicians fail to get a proper history and miss important dots in the history that connect to the diagnosis. This is clinically relevant, as a specific diagnosis completely alters the nature of treatment and thereby improves prognosis.
