Abstract

Purpose: To determine the prevalence of keratoconus (KCN) in patients with mitral valve prolapse (MVP).Methods: This descriptive study was conducted on patients with MVP at Shahid Rajaei Hospital during 2003-2004. Corneal topography was performed in 392 subjects with absolute mitral valve prolapse based on Perloff’s major criteria. Orbscan was carried out in suspected KCN cases.Results: Patient consisted of 247 men (63%) and 145 women (37%) with mean age of 37.27 ± 11.29 years. The diagnosis of two topographically KCN suspect patients was not confirmed with Orbscan. Positive family history of keratoconus in first-degree relatives was found in three patients. No cases of keratoconus were found.Conclusion: This study suggests that the prevalence of KCN in patients with MVP could be less than previously reported. A large multicenter study is needed to detect the association of these disorders. Genetic studies are suggested.
