Zusammenfassung:Stickler syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by collagen abnormalities leading to various ocular manifestations, such as retinal detachment. We present two cases of siblings clinically diagnosed with Stickler syndrome who exhibited retinal detachment. Case 1, a seven-year-old girl, and case 2, her 14-year-old brother, both displayed severe myopia and other clinical signs consistent with Stickler syndrome. Despite their ages, neither case showed evidence of posterior precortical vitreous pocket (PPVP) on imaging or during surgical intervention. These findings suggest a potential relationship between collagen abnormalities and PPVP dysplasia in Stickler syndrome.
