Abstract

Alport syndrome is an oculo-renal syndrome characterized by a triad of clinical findings consisting of hemorrhagic nephritis, sensorineural hearing loss and characteristic ocular findings. We report a young male patient who presented with painless diminution of vision associated with hearing loss. The importance of ophthalmic evaluation for suspecting the disease is highlighted.
