Abstract

The authors report the case of a 27-year-old male patient with Alport syndrome. Prior to the surgical treatment of the visual deficit by phacoemulsification of the lens and IOL implantation, the patient had been submitted to renal transplantation with total recovery of renal function. Visual acuity post-surgery was 20/20 in both eyes. The authors present a short description of the etiopathology, clinical signs and diagnostic criteria of the syndrome.
