1/5. The use of contact B mode ultrasound in pediatric ophthalmology.It has been shown that an ultrasound system such as the Bronson-Turner Contact B Mode can be added, fruitfully, to the armamentarium of the individual pediatric ophthalmologist. It can be used quickly and precisely with an ophthalmological training and without patient discomfort or anesthesia no matter what the age. Valuable anterior segment information can be readily gained without a waterbath. Examples are shown of children with opaque media who were found to have congenital cataracts and congenital aphakia, microphthalmos, PHPV, retinal anomalies and ectatic coloboma.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = aphakia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/5. corneal perforation with secondary congenital aphakia in Peters anomaly.PURPOSE: To describe two cases of secondary congenital aphakia in association with Peters anomaly. methods: Two infants were noted to have corneal opacification at birth. Each child was found to have Peters anomaly requiring corneal transplantation in 1 or both eyes. RESULTS: Each child underwent penetrating keratoplasty, revealing absence of the crystalline lens in 1 eye. Histopathologic evaluation of the corneal buttons was performed. Each specimen showed full-thickness corneal defects with lens remnants. CONCLUSIONS: Secondary congenital aphakia from corneal perforation should be considered in the presentation of severe Peters anomaly.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 6keywords = aphakia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/5. Peter's anomaly with congenital aphakia.An Inuit boy was born with microphthalmia and a central corneal opacity of the right globe. Histopathologic examination revealed a central adherent corneal leukoma (Peter's anomaly) as well as absence of the lens. We are not aware of other well documented histopathologic reports of congenital aphakia and Peter's anomaly occurring in the same eye.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = aphakia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/5. Corneal coloboma, aphakia and retinal neovascularization with anterior segment dysgenesis (Peters' anomaly).An infant with bilateral Peters' Anomaly, with corneal opacification in the right eye and an opacification with an axial defect in the left also had an associated hydrocephalus and cardiac anomalies that proved fatal; histopathology of the right eye showed retinal neovascularization in addition to findings consistent with a diagnosis of Peters' Anomaly; in the left eye, pathologic findings were suggestive of a corneal coloboma associated with aphakia.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = aphakia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/5. Congenital aphakia in Peters' anomaly syndrome. A case report.The authors report a case of congenital bilateral corneal opacities in which one of the eyes was enucleated because of malignant glaucoma and corneal perforation. Corneal defects and iridocorneal adhesion were found, but aphakia was the major pathologic ocular finding. The clinical picture and pathology study indicated this case as a Peters' anomaly presenting congenital aphakia.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 6keywords = aphakia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
